Did you misunderstand? (WinXP OEM)

[ronnys]

I asked in a tread about if it is possible for Guest-OS(WIn XP OEM) to see the physical hardware so it understand it is on a legal computer.

I was not asking to break any licens-agreement. My Dell Optiplex GX520 have an legal OEM lisence on WinXP Pro. Insted of running XP as primary OS, i wanted to run it virtual on the same computer that hold the OEM-license. But if it is not possible to make Virtualbox HW-transparent so XP can si the physical identification, then i cant run it like this.
I allready have a legal OEM of WinXP and with the certified Product-key on the computer, and the only different is to run XP virtual and not as primary.
I was not asking for breaking license-agreement! Im using the same media that came with the computer.

So to be sure here! If anyone who want to run WinXP as guest-OS, they need legal Volume-license and not OEM! Am i right? I only wanted to do the legal way!
You didnt have to lock the tread!

Read the OEM license details, re-use for other then what it was sold for is not allowed.
Virtual hardware is like the word says, virtual as in non existant.
Questions about such issues have been asked dozens of times here and elsewhere you can find with Google, we have no interrest whatsoever to discuss, what is to us, 3rd party license issues, which is why we lock any such discussions.
If you don't like the OEM deal or its license merits, then take that up with the product vendor.
