    Hello,

    I am in the process of migrating my Windows 10 virtual machine from my old MacBook Pro 2017 (Intel-based) to a new MacBook Pro with the M5 chip.

    To complete the migration, I first need to create a Windows 11 for ARM virtual machine on the new M5 MacBook Pro so that I can test my virtual machine environment.

    Because I still need to use my 2017 MacBook Pro for work, I cannot deactivate or stop using it at this time. However, without a license on the new M5 virtual machine, I am unable to proceed with the migration and compatibility testing.

    Would it be possible to provide me with a temporary license so I can complete the migration and testing process?

    Once I have confirmed that everything works correctly on the new MacBook Pro, I will deactivate the old installation and continue using my existing license on the new machine.

    Thank you very much for your assistance.
