[QUOTE="martyp, post: 1649906, member: 61183"] Hello everyone, Quick question, I have VMWare Fusion 7 Pro on a MacBook Pro which I run a Windows 7 Pro virtual machine on. I have purchased a Mac Pro to use solely at home and keep my MBP for use on the road, however, I'd like both computers to run VMWare Fusion and the Win 7 VM. My question is, will I need to purchase another copy of Windows if I run it on both machines? As it is just a VM, the system spec shouldn't trigger re-activation as they will be identical (1core, 2Gb RAM, 512Mb VRAM) and they won't be used at the same time. If I will need to get another copy, I'll probably put Windows 10 technical preview (or similar) on the MP to tide me over until Windows 10 is actually released. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
