Windows Vista becomes Ungenuine

[cesarfong]

I have my boot camp partition with Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

After return to parallels (my demo license was finished and today i bought my license). Run the boot camp... and after login it throws me that my license is not genuine.

How can i solve this.. i cant use my boot camp partition with Parallels and today I HAVE BOUGHT my license grrrr?

I have had to reactivate my boot camp license 3 times!

Help please!

Call Microsoft, they are the ones at fault here. It is probably the issue that M$ detects three hardware device changes when you use it in Parallels versus BootCamp.

It may also depend on which version of Vista you are trying to run. It is my understanding that only vista ultimate and enterprise are allowed to be run in a virtual machine. I seem to remember tho that microsoft may have reversed this ruling. If not there is an upgrade path

Yes, recently M$ has allowed all versions of Vista to be virtualized.
