I'm using Win 7 x64 as a host in Virtual Box.
I installed win 8.1 retail as a guest OS using it's license.
I've had to move the VDI file a few times, ect and now the license say exceeded unlocks or something.
So I called and put the numbers in and it activated.
My question is-I want to install this as my primary OS in a NON virtual environment. I obviously will stop using it in the virtual box but am I out of luck now?
I had no idea moving the VDI and creating a new VM entry was causing it to reactivate or whatever it did. There was no warning, ect.
Has anyone experienced losing a license due to Virtual Box?
