Windows 10: Windows Activation in a VM

Is this possible?

Cannot get it to work.

Two digital licences, gone through "troubleshooting" several times, clicked "i have changed hardware" and it closes out with "cannot be activated, please try again later" but so far, later has been akin to Garth Brooks' Tomorrow.

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.

 

Activation and Re-activation of Windows 10 Pro VM (VirtualBox, OSX Host) not working

I've moved a working and activated Windows 10 Pro VM (VirtualBox) from a Windows 10 Host to an OSX Host. The re-activation of the is not Working (Error Code 0xC004C003). I also moved a Windows 7 Pro VM that reactivate without problems. I tried everything
mentioned in the process to activate. Nothing works or even outputs some useful hint or support contact.

• used another (afaik unused) product key. not working! Same Error Code.
• created a new VM and installed a fresh Windows 10 pro. The new machine can not be activated!

Thus this seems to be a problem within the crappy M$ activation system.

Any useful hint how to activate this M$ crap would be highly appreciated.

 

I cannot activate Windows 10 on VM.

I'm using Fusion not parallels but to activate I had to do the following.

• Install in bootcamp and activate
• Start VM (it was unactivated)
• go to command prompt and type slui 4, chose country and phone them up.
• Follow prompts over the phone and enter the long Installation id number displayed on the screen.
• When asked by the robot say "this is installed on 1 computer"
• Type in the long Confirmation id number returned into the slui 4 screen
• It was then activated on bootcamp and VM.

Note this only works with FPP license - it doesn't work with free upgrade.
