Technically yes however if the CPU is a different class it could trigger product activation and this can become problematic if copied/moved to many times to a different system. The bottom line is you need to have the appropriate number of Licenses for the number of installs per the products EULA and you need to read the EULA for the specific type distribution of the OS in question!Ĭan I move the guest instances to another machine? IIRC Windows 8 allows for a virtualized copy in conjunction with the physical install however you'll need to read the EULA. As an example, a retail copy of Window 7, if you can even purchase a copy at a realistic and reasonable price, you'd need to have 4 copies or 4 different Product Keys and you can install only one instance per Product Key in this scenario. This really has nothing to do with VMware and is a Windows Licensing issue and therefore you should contact Microsoft! Additionally it all depends on the distribution type of the OS. What are the initial costs and license issues? Kirkus007 wrote: I want to create 4 guest instances of Win7 and 2 guest instances of Win 8.
