I am running the free version of VMWare server v2 in Fedora 17. I<br>
created a vmware image of my old WIndows XP system and fired it up<br>
under VMWare. However any program I had installed in it acts like it<br>
isn't registered and wants me to "re register". I have been<br>
searching and searching for anything similar on the web to this and<br>
have come up with nothing. Does anyone know if there is some setting<br>
or something so you don't basically have to re register every single<br>
applications installed in the guest os?<br></blockquote><div><br>Unless the vm is setup to look very much like the original vm, hardware wise, programs and XP will decide you're on a different box. That could cause them to ask you to re-register. When I was trying xp in different vm's I had to keep going through the "mother may I" every time I installed it.<br>
