Re-Activating Windows 10 in a Vmware Fusion VM based on a Boot Camp Partition?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

As per the issue description, I see that you have installed 2 multi-boot utilities, i.e., Boot Camp and VMware Fusion on your Mac.

If you have installed Windows 10 on your Boot Camp and activated it, then you cannot activate Windows 10 on VMware Fusion using the same license key, which you used for Boot Camp. You need to have different Windows 10 licenses for Boot Camp and VMware Fusion.

If you want to install Windows 10 on both Boot Camp and VMware Fusion, then you need to have 2 different licenses.

Hope it helps.

Re-Activating Windows 10 in a Vmware Fusion VM based on a Boot Camp Partition?

Thank you for your reply. I checked out the EULA and saw the same thing there.

The people at VMware say that a different product key on the VM could interfere with Windows on Boot Camp. So, it seems that if i want only one product key, I need to choose which way I want to run Windows.

Let me ask a follow-up question. Can I deactivate Windows 10 on Boot Camp, wipe that partition, and then use that product key for Windows 10 in my virtual machine?
