Hello guys, I am trying to run a video surveillance server in VM, and the server license relies on the mac address,
I am wondering if the VMware VM's mac addresses change if the machine is migrated during vmotion?
No, the mac address will stay the same.

It's the SAME VM after a vMotion as it was before it.
There is a gratuitous ARP sent out to update the mac address port location on the switch. The VM doesn't change as mentioned, the switchport location of the mac address is what changes.
