我刚买了一台新电脑,我想擦拭窗户并安装Ubunutu,但我希望能够在虚拟盒子中运行窗户。不必购买全新的窗口许可证,而是可以使用计算机附带的许可证在虚拟机上安装窗口。
或者是否可以离开Windows分区并从VirtualBox引导分区?
如您所知,我是Virtual Box菜鸟。我知道双启动选项,但是我希望能够在Ubuntu中运行Windows。

Answers:
我偶然发现了这个问题,并对Windows 7 Professional(我的情况)感到好奇。
我认为EULA(在此处找到)可以得出结论。下面查看相关部分(最值得注意的是3 / d)。
1. OVERVIEW.
b. License Model. The software is licensed on a per copy per computer basis. A computer is a
physical hardware system with an internal storage device capable of running the software. A
hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate computer.
2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.
a. One Copy per Computer. The software license is permanently assigned to the computer with
which the software is distributed. That computer is the “licensed computer.”
3. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/ OR USE RIGHTS.
d. Use with Virtualization Technologies. Instead of using the software directly on the licensed
computer, you may install and use the software within only one virtual (or otherwise emulated)
hardware system on the licensed computer. When used in a virtualized environment, content
protected by digital rights management technology, BitLocker or any full volume disk drive
encryption technology may not be as secure as protected content not in a virtualized
environment. You should comply with all domestic and international laws that apply to such
protected content.
我不是律师,但是只要您不使用同一密钥激活Windows的多个副本(无论是物理的还是虚拟的),就可以了。
请查看Windows 8 Pro OEM EULA,例如:
在其他条款 / 许可权利和多用户方案下,它指出:
因此,您应该能够擦除Windows,在VM中重新安装并使用密钥激活。但是请记住,在Windows 8 PC上不再有COA标签,并且密钥被嵌入到BIOS中,并由安装程序自动提取。
不,除了德国,这篇博客文章说。http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mssmallbiz/archive/2009/10/27/no-oem-microsoft-windows-licenses-cannot-be-transferred-to-another-pc.aspx
我以前曾经这样做过(在美国)。我在这里使用Windows 7 Home Premium映像之一进行安装:
然后,我在覆盖了Windows 7副本的计算机的底部输入了密钥。我确实必须通过Microsoft的电话激活系统,但这对我来说是一个自动化的过程(即,我没有与任何实际的人交谈)。
