Hi there,

I want to transfer all the machines to another Mac.

I copied the whole VM-Folder and tried to mount the image on the other Mac (New Machine, existing VDI).
But it doesn't work. The Failure-message was something like "wrong Kernel driver/version".

I also tried to use "Appliance export" and import on the other Computer. But there was a Checksum-Error.

So... how does the transfer works?
And I would like to avoid new Windows-activation.

Thank you!

See the FAQ: "Moving a VM". You basically do what you did, but then you use the menu "Machine" » "Add..." and you point to the VM's '.vbox' file. Or you double-click on the '.vbox' file...

That depends on Windows and it's "detection" policies. Since you're just going to be changing the CPU (I guess they're different between the two Macs), then I do not expect that Windows will complain too much. For more information, read the thread "Which changes trigger reactivation in a Windows guest?".
