Hello!
I have a Windows 10 VM on my MacBook, if I move to another host, let's say a Windows computer running the latest VirtualBox version, will I run into windows license issues? Will the VM deactivate or the product key is tied to the virtual hardware no matter on which host it runs?
Thanks

Re: Moving Windows Guest and possible license issues
The virtual hardware presented to a guest is the same, no matter what the host is, with one exception; the CPU. If your host CPU is different between the hosts, then the guest will see a change in the CPU. If Windows has a problem with the change of the CPU, that's a question for Microsoft mainly...
