My setup is Fusion 3 upgraded to 4.01 upgraded to 4.1 on MBP i7 2.5 ghz running Lion. Win 7 is installed in Bootcamp. I had some "wonkiness" with the 4.0.1 upgrade.... some kernal panics, locking up on sleep. So when the upgrade to 4.1 was released, I jumped on it.
After the installation, I was prompted to validate Windows 7. This appeared to work fine. A bit later, I rebooted into Bootcamp, whereupon I was asked to again validate the Windows 7. This also appeared to work fine. A shutdown or reboot later into Lion and startup of Fusion seemed ok but then I noticed I had a black desktop in Windows and I got a message about my Win 7 not being a legal copy. Unfortunately, I was not taking notes through the upgrade so I may not have the sequence quite right.... whether my first attempt to run Win was on booting into Bootcamp or running it after starting in Lion. In any case, after multiple reboots I still get the message. What is surprising to me is that this has not shown up as a post here. I did notice that this was a problem back in 2009. The workaround for that situation was to delete a directory on c:, unfortunately the directory structure is different on 7 so I was not able to try that solution. I am looking for the best way to get sorted out. Uninstall and reinstall 4.1? If so, what needs backing up.... I run time capsule and have my most important data backed up in dropbox so the backup question is about avoiding the hassle of reinstalling software on the Windows machine.
