I have installed XP Pro OEM inside VMware fusion on a Mac Book Pro with the Leopard O\S. After XP installed I was asked to activate. I activated with a message saying it was successful. Then a message pops up saying that I need to activate. I try to activate and it again and I get a message that it has expired and I have to call Microsoft. I called Microsoft and activated it again but as soon as I get the message it activated successfully and try and log on I get a message that XP's activation has expired.
