I'm currently running Vista on a Parallels virtual machine. My concern is since I've already activated Windows with the product key, will I need to buy a different product key or will the same one be able to be used? Thanks for your help.
If it doesn't, and you've discontinued using it under Parallels, just call the 800 number Microsoft provides, explain your situation, and they will assist you with a new activation over the phone. It isn't fun, but it works.

If your Windows OS forced Windows Product Activation (WPA) when you installed it in Parallels then you will absolutely have to re-activate WPA when you migrate to Fusion. When your prompted to Activate you need to make sure that VMware Tools are installed and the amount of Memory is what you want to have. If WPA cannot process automatically via an Internet Connection you will have to call Microsoft to re-activate.
I am trying to convert parallels to VMWARE Fusion and it doesn't work, I have leopard, vista on parallels desktop 3.0 when I use importer in about 75% of work receive screen with: "VMware Importer is unable to prepare your visrtual machine to run under VMware Fusion.
Per , please include /Users/yournamehere/Library/Logs/VMware Importer/import.log and /Users/yournamehere/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Helper/naos-1.0.vmwarevm/vmware.log
Hi Etung, I'll send the log files but I am trying one more time because I discovered that my demo version was expired so maybe that's why importer at some point couldn't finish, I discovered that when I wanted to install in the classic way and I couldn't start VMware because the license was expired, I did buy the software and let's see I am right now about 50% so let's see unless you think it doesn't matter if the license is valid or expired for importer
