Hi,
I have converted a physical machine to virtual with vcenter converter. The vm was working ok but after two days one of the software that was installed (running with SQL Server as a service) it deactivated suddenly and I have huge problem. Is there any quick fix. Or I shall re-activate the software on Monday -but then again its too late 😕
Thank you,
Frank
If this is about the software licensing part you an reactivate it on Monday
I would be curious to know the reason for application getting deactivated.
If it is only SQL, I find this link very helpful. you might wanna read.
If it is any thing else..
No... It is a software related issue not the SQL. Maybe I should have changed the MAC address of the new VM according to the physical one. I do not know... I will wait until Monday. Now I am running from the OLD physical Server.
OK.. I am not sure if you are aware but you can force the virtual machine to have a desired MAC
the linked KB might help
