    Hello

    I run latest // on latest Tiger with XP Pro up-to-date / activated.

    It works perfectly using Bootcamp, but when I use // with Bootcamp, I got this silly message that say "An issue block Windows from perfectly verifying this computer licence" (sorry, my message is in french, you will find it attached).

    error.jpg

    As I said, I have no problem running bootcamp, it is well activated etc.

    All my licence are legal, so, before contacting M$ I was just wondering if // could bring me a solution for this VM related issue.

    Thank you in advance.

    only google thing i could find was

    "The message you mentioned is what one
    sees when the wpa file gets whacked/corrupted. If this
    is the case you can do an upgrade/repair install of the
    existing install, which will reset the activation. However,
    do not just jump into this as you will need the CD and key,
    and all post-install service packs"

    already googled

    but as I said, this is only related to VM.

    may be someone at // know the related windows update that again changed the activation ?

    What's with the slashes?

    I would think of changing doing a repair install as well...

    // is mathematical logo for Parallels ;-)

    I'm really not interrested by this repair installation thing...

    I'd rather wait a Vista Bootcamp feature hoping I won't encounter any issue with my MSDN licence.

    But most important is that I already activated Windows 3 time for Parallels, and that sound more like a hack than a VM.
