I thought this was fixed lately by VMWare Fusion and Parallels. But at least with VMWare Fusion, I am still asked to re-activate when I boot from one version to another one. For example, Microsoft office 2007, I must re-activate back when I boot to bootcamp Windows Vista and also, when I reboot back to Virtual Vista using Fusion Bootcamp. So, in other terms, I need to re-activate the product whenever I change the boot process from one to another; which is really annoy.
Also, even Windows Vista ultimate needs re-activation when I change the boot to direct bootcamp Vista from virtual one telling hardware changes are detected; but booting back to Virtual vista does not need a re-activation. But when you reboot back to direct bootcamp version, again it will ask you to re-activate.
This is really messy…I am using MSDN Enterprise License of Vista Ultimate Edition and Office 2007 Enterprise with VMWare Fusion RC1.
No solution to this yet? This driving me insane and until they fix it i’ll stick to native booting instead of vmware.
I have the same anoying problem with Outlook 2007
I have contacted MS by phone and was told that there is not solution to this problem, they blame incompatibility of bootcamp
This is a real mess
