Would I regret the question if I asked you why you want to do this ?
Smells a bit suspicious ....
Anyway lets assume you do not need this to run illegal Windows 7 VMs or want to cheat other 3rd party software.
Maybe this helps ...

serialNumber.reflectHost = “FALSE”

serialNumber = “blablablabla”

Thank you very much!

I think that`s what I need!

and of course。。。not for some suspicious reasons...

I just want to use my own computer to connect the company inside network.....so that I can finish my work at home...

(you know the portal which is used to certificate the computer, it can identify the pc`s Baseboard SerialNumber...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But......even I have written the code

"

serialNumber.reflectHost = “FALSE”

serialNumber = “blablablabla”

"

in the  "Windows 7 x64.vmx" and reboot it

It still not work.....

Is there any steps I ignored or do wrong....

Thank you again !

This sounds like you're trying to circumvent a policy or procedure put into place by your employer. Have you discussed this with them? I would be shocked if, after your explanation, they gave you the green light here. And their security department probably won't like this one bit.
