[QUOTE="knightlie, post: 446012, member: 28829"] No it won't. Parallels hardware profile is different, and it identifies it's own custom BIOS and PC type which is completely different from how the Mac identifies itself. The only way around it is to get another copy of Windows, or only ever run the partition in BootCamp or Parallels but not both. I believe you might get Microsoft to allow it if you phone them, because you are running the same license on the same physical machine, but they aren't obliged to. [/QUOTE]
