    Windows license for multiple non-simultaneously run virtual machines


    Hi,


    I have a windows 10 license for the guest running on VirtualBox. When doing software troubleshooting, I often find myself needing to clone the virtual machine for testing since I need to uninstall/install software for testing compatibilities. I do NOT need to simultaneously access the clones. Am I right to say that for this case, I can share the license key across the clones?

    :)

    Multiple windows on same PC with same license?

    I need to use the same license on the same pc, as I need to have multiple versions on windows running on the same computer.

    Say one installed normally then multiple virtual machines running on the same pc.

    Do I have to purchase multiple licenses or is it possible I use the same license I am using both for the pc and the virtual machine?
    I will not be using them simultaneously.

    Else is there any other way I can have multiple windows on same pc? and shift from one windows to another as necessary.

    Windows license for multiple non-simultaneously run virtual machines

    Move windows 10 pro license from virtual machine to physical machine.

    I need to move a windows 10 pro license from a virtual machine to a physical machine. The license has been bought as windows 10 pro not upgrade etc. The thing is that the computer (Mac book pro) where the virtual machine used to live is now dead beyond
    repair and to expensive to use. So I want to install windows 10 on a dell laptop now but I cant deactivate the old license on the virtual machine. Any suggestions?
