![]() ![]() Over on the Parallels forums there's a thread similar to this one, where people report that the reps told them the same thing, however one fellow has posted " Yep, I was told this several times by MS over the last 9-10 days, and I didn't believe them. She then told me that the activation servers were very busy if I waited a while my machine would activate automatically. She did ask me for the error code (C004C003) and my Win7 product ID, then she verified that it was valid for activation. I explained I was using VMware Fusion and Boot Camp but I don't think she was familiar with that. The robot couldn't provide an activation ID - it had when I installed Win7 Boot Camp - and transferred me to a Microsoft representative. I used the command "slui 4" to open the activation support window and called the number on the screen. Activation is preserved across multiple switches between Boot Camp and the VM.) (The problem didn't occur when I installed a retail copy of Win10Home into my Boot Camp partition I activated it in native Boot Camp, started it as a VM under Fusion, and activated the VM, by phone, after installing VMware Tools. Yes, this is a change in the way Microsoft handles activation, and it is definitely linked to the free upgrade - for this test I went Win7Pro -> Win10Pro. ![]()
