    Can I build and distribute MSI software built in a Windows unlicensed virtual machine


    Hello


    I would like to know if I can if it's legal build and distribute MSI software built in a Windows unlicensed from Microsoft official .iso virtual machine. Let's say that the software to be distributed in the MSI is open source and no benefits are received for those downloads.


    Thank you all.

    Best regards,

    Alberto

    :)

    Can I build and distribute MSI software built in a Windows unlicensed virtual machine

    Hello

    I would like to know if I can (if it's legal) build and distribute MSI software built in a Windows unlicensed (from Microsoft official .iso) virtual machine. Let's say that the software to be distributed in the MSI is open source and no benefits are received
    for those downloads.

    Thank you all.

    Best regards,

    Alberto

    Can I build and distribute MSI software built in a Windows unlicensed virtual machine

    Hi Alberto

    With regards to an un-licenced version of Windows you should licence and activate that, it is against the EULA to not activate Windows 10

    With regards to building an MSI, whether or not Windows is activated will not affect that process or the resulting MSI

    Can I build and distribute MSI software built in a Windows unlicensed virtual machine

    Installing a Virtual Machine in Windows 10

    Step #1 is to decide which virtual machine software you wish to install.

    The three most popular choices are:

    • VirtualBox (from Oracle)
    • VMWare Workstation Player (from VMWare); and
    • Hyper-V (from Microsoft)

    Once you've made your choice you can find detailed, illustrated instructions for installing each one on the internet.

    As a personal suggestion: You might find it easier to use either VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation Player. Hyper-V is more complicated to setup.

    Between VirtualBox and VMWare, I think you'll find VirtualBox more user-friendly, and it has the advantage of allowing you to create checkpoints - backups of your virtual machine - whereas to do that in VMWare you'll need to upgrade to their (expensive!)
    paid version.
