Office 2010 RTM Reactivation Required in Hyper-V Environment
Hello. I have virtual machines in a Hyper-V environment. I also have a master
virtual hard drive with Office 2010 RTM configured. When I create new virtual machines from this master vhd, Office on the new vm detects "a substantial number of hardware or software components change on a system" and requires reactivation within 3 days. This I understand completely. I also know that each OS and app has different rules about reactivations. I have a TechNet Plus subscription. The FAQs there say: "As subscribers often need to install and reinstall software, we are working to increase activations available for keys, or to enable issuance of additional keys." I have successfully reactivated Office in a new vm based on the master vhd so I know the reactivation process is successful at least once. I plan on creating new virtual machines based on this master vhd, deleting them, create new ones, deleting them, etc. Your typical virtual environment stuff... My question is: Will I be able to create new virtual machines again and again (based on the master vhd) and reactivate Office 2010 (based on the same key) without issue? - ChrisR |
