  2. Windows 10 Pro VM for a Macbook.

    Hello,

    I have purchased a copy of Windows 10 Pro, and am running it on a Desktop. This is a full license(non OEM).

    I have purchased a Macbook Pro, and want to setup a large virtual box VM running Windows 10 Pro.

    Will my already purchased license allow windows 10 Pro to be installed on this VM?

    If not then what kind of license would be required for the VM install?

    Thanks for the guidance.

    Paul

    Windows 10 VM activation

    Hi,

    I am trying to setup two Windows 10 vms for test purposes on Ovirt virtualization cluster. (Windows 10 Pro with MAK key from visual studio (MSDN) subscription).

    Activation of the first vm encountered no problem, but activation of the second one failed. I have tried to setup second vm by all available means (by cloning from the first one with or without sysprep, from activated state or from clean installed snapshot,
    by installing second vm from scratch, etc.). All are with the same results: The last product key you entered XXXXX can't be used on this copy of Windows (0xC0EA0003).

    Is it possible to have several Win 10 vms on the same hypervisor, activated with MAK key?

    Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
