I've just invested in a new laptop, and want to create a vmware image of my old laptop to run under VMWare on the new machine. As the old laptop had an OEM licence, I purchased a new XP licence to use in the virtual machine. I created the new image using vmware converter, and as expected, when I boot it up it requires me to re-validate. I put in the new key, but it just loops, telling me the key is incorrect. I even tried one from my Action Pack, with the same results.
Any one with any ideas how I go about getting a new licence installed so I can run the virtual machine?
