virtualbox.org

I copied the whole folder from "VirtualBox VMs" of Computer A and then migrated it to another Computer B. Later, I open the .vbox file from virtualbox of computer B. Everything works fine except that one of my obsolete yet licensed program detected significant hardware changes. It meant that I might need to play a substantial amount of so-called administrative cost to renew the licence. My question is why there is significant hardware changes. All the hardware id, mac address and harddisk ids are the same.

Why?

Is it bios changed?

The CPU changed, that is not virtualized and therefore the IDs are different on that level. The rest would be the same.

Noteirak,

Thank you for your reply. You should be right because I am quite sure that even the bios info are the same.

So, is there any means to clone the processor and motherboard id?

Motherboard ID is the same, there is no way to clone CPU info per say, the real CPU will always be shown to the Virtual Machine.
