Windows 7 Professional Upgrade Deactivated itself

Question
-
Here's the report:
I upgraded my copy of Windows, and it seemed to work fine. Win7 activated itself, and was more than happy to activate. Now, though, it's giving me an error - saying that it's unable to do anything. I tired the automated system, and it was pretty much useless.
I'd love to know why Windows - which was activated and working perfectly - suddenly stopped working. I'd also love to know how to fix this.

From what version and edition of Windows is it an upgrade?Note that an Upgrade license subsumes the original OS license, and means that that license is no longer available for use unless the Upgrade is completely and permanently removed (so the original license cannot be used in another VM).There arte no obvious signs from the report of why the activation has not proceeded – but I suspect that either you have changed virtual hardware (by changing the VMWare installation), or installed clean by booting from the DVD, rather than from the original Windows installation.

Glad you got it sorted out. Be aware that running the BootCamp copy of Windows in a virtual machine like VMWare or Parallels is going to trigger reactivation. The problem is the hardware. If you want to run Windows in a vm and on BootCamp, you do need two licenses. While it is technically supported by the virtualizion software, Windows Activation Technology is not going to support it. Virtualization programs use emulated motherboards while BootCamp facilitates use of the native Mac mobo.

Brilliant, that was basicaly it.
I'm running this on my iMac, via Boot Camp most of the time. I'd installed the demo version of VMWare, just to see if it was worth it, and I guess the VMWare doing the VM of my normal drive is what killed it.
Removed the VMWare tools from the Windows installation, called the Activation wizard number, and it's all happy now.
Virtual machines of all kinds create virtual motherboards which are different to the bare-metal motherboards (and from each other) Therefore each will require its own license for each instance.Glad you sorted things out – just be aware of the restrictions on both Upgrade licenses and OEM licenses in future – you could end up with a license that is blocked for abuse if you’re not careful.

What copy of Windows did you upgrade your VMWare virtual machine from?
