VMWare - Windows XP guest licensing
- by jcooper
Hi,
If I have a VMWare ESXi server with 4 Windows XP guests running on it, I understand that I need a separate license for each guest.
Is there a way to simplify license compliance on these VMs? For example, I want to create a master VM image and boot it 4 times. By default those 4 VMs will have the same Windows activation key installed.
Is there a simple solution for this? Or is it ok to do what I've described above provided I have 4 unique license keys on hand in case of audit?
thanks!
