windows 10 activation

Post by Stretch »

I am looking at creating one VM and transferring that VM to multiple machines. Each machine is on the same network so I will need to modify the network Mac Address. What is the OS activation tied to. Is it as simple as remembering the MAC of each machine?

It is a lot more complicated than this (and Microsoft aren't telling).

There is a sticky thread about it at the top of "Windows Guests".

Thanks for the quick reply, I rolled through a bunch of those posts and they seemed old. Thought there might be new information available.
