Win7 Pro needs 2 licenses: one for Bootcamp & one for //desktop 6!

attention you need a secund Win7 licence!

With my previous Santa Rosa MacBookPro I used either Bootcamp or //desktop6 with my Bootcamp XP_SP3 single one licence!
But this is no more blessed on Windows 7:
If you try to use your Bootcamp Win7 virtualized thru //desktop6, you'll be prompted to purchase another Win7 licence...
Arghh! a lot of bucks to throw thru the window...
;-(
If you ignore this gentle warning, after the next attempt to boot, you'll be punished with a "black screen" just few secunds after finishing the boot process.
Thanx a lot Microsoft: this is reallay bad since you only have a single hardware, but certainly not 2 computers!
Worse, when you boot from //desktop you cannot use in the same time your genuine Bootcamp Win7, so why 2 licences needed?

Microsoft closed abruptly the phonecall when they became aware that I was using a Mac and that Win7 has been first activated thru //desktop6. There is war again between Apple & Crimosoft...
You must say to all your customers that it is mandatory to install BOOTCAMP first, since it 'll be to late afterwards...
I had to manage a secund license key and that drives me mad and furious against Microsoft!
 
I've been reading all the posts to this section, and I may be having the same problem. I have a new licensed copy of Windows 7 (and have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). I did by two licenses for Parallels 6, for two different computers. When loading Windows 7 on the second computer, I get certain error messages like "SCSI controller is not installed". I can call Microsoft Windows and plead the case - and they have actually been good to me when I do need to put other Window versions on my other computers - but, do I need to call them in the first place, and second, is there anything I can say to them that will help me get this Windows loaded onto my MacBook Pro?
 
You need to call Microsoft Windows and plead the case. That's the best thing to do.
