moving to a new host
Posted: 14. Oct 2021, 21:20
Hi,
I am not sure how the VM works with referencing a new physical machine which is being the host. We recently upgraded and purchased a new computer. I copied the VM file from the previous host to this new one and the Vm booted up fine and all the software was installed identically to how it was on the previous machine. However one particular software shows as not activated and wants me to activate. Although this software is licensed it is no longer supported so the company won't activate it. Why would the VM not see it as activated if copying the same VM file. I am guessing it sees something different on the hardware of the new machine and wondering if anyone knows what it is and how to get around this.
Thanks,
Sam
