It reminded me that I'm actually allowed 2 installs, and each one can be activated/de-activated 6 times each calendar year. I currently have one licence active, that's the one on XP-SP3 inside VirtualBox. The other being spare I thought "Why not try and activate it on XP-SP3 inside Hyper-V?". So I just did. Doing it offline is equally tortuous to the Microsoft process but it works. Another 10 minutes of tedium! So I now have two working installations of my Bentley D2 A8/S8 manual, one each of VirtualBox and Hyper-V. ![]() Due to the way VirtualBox (and hopefully Hyper-V) works you can just move (even replicate) the working VM between systems without further activation. ![]() So it looks like my new/old laptop will be running without Oracle, just native Microsoft. VCDS and Bentley are my main tools. Though to achieve "The Full Monty" I now need to get my hands on native Windows 10 versions of ELSAWIN and ETKA...……. ![]()
