Hi,
> It's just that OEM licenses are locked to the system.
An OEM license can be locked to specific hardware. Seen it in the past, it would only activate on the hardware it was intended to run on. But I've also have seen OEM licenses, directly bought from a licensed Microsoft supplier - not bundled with hardware -, activate without any issues.
FWIW, by definition an OEM license is not valid by Microsoft's terms for a brand new VM on when running on top of macOS. The hardware didn't come with an OEM MS license after all.
An end user is not a "Original Equipment Manufacturer". It has always been puzzling to me why you can buy these licenses outside of B2B channels.
