Installation of OEM Vista as a guest

Are there issues relating to activation of an OEM copy of Vista Premium when installed on a VM ??

Thanks !

Unless you somehow managed to purchase a VM with an OEM copy of Vista, or you're an authorized Microsoft reseller, this is probably illegal. I know some copies of Vista include the license to run multiple VMs, but I was under the impression that is tied to the Virtual PC product, and doesn't extend to VMware products. Could be wrong, but you might want to read the EULA to make sure...
