As I said, the OEM license will only validate on the original hardware. The EULA forbids you to transfer it to another "machine" (VMWare is considered as a machine here)...</blockquote><div> I dual boot as well, but I havne't had these problems. I was able to purchase a OEM copy off a site a couple of years ago. I think you might be able to get one off newegg or other online site now. I generally slipstream my disks with the latest updates and all. The site I've gotten most of this info has a link for it.
