XanatosDavid Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm not yet a user of startallback, but am considering becoming one, The main hurdle I'm not sure about is how the license is handled, in case of the use in multiple VM's Can I activate the tool on all windows 11 VM's I use or will i run into issues when trying to activate on more than one windows installation? I use various VM's with different Dev Environments for different projects to always keep everything compartmentalized, as sometimes updates break things and its most convenient to have a separate VM for every project and don't have to wary that an update for project A may break projects C and D.

Tihiy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 VMs are not considered different from PC hardware. You can activate app on VM and then clone it (with same hardware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanatosDavid Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 but do i than need one Licence for the main PC and one for the VM or can the one for the main PC be also activated on the VM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihiy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 No, that will consume additional license Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have any license options for all PC's a single user personally owns with no quantity limitation? Also when I clone the VM and it gets a new MAC address as it needs such that i can use multiple at once, would that void the activation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tihiy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm sorry but that's how it is. SIB is tied to motherboard (SMBIOS) uuid or HDD serial. You can try to set VM to replicate physical hardware uuid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanatosDavid Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 idk what VMWare changes when cloning the VM in comparison to just copying by hand, but I guess keeping the HDD serial should be doable. I'll think about it... I'm not yet convinced the value proposition is good, OpenShell + Explorer Patcher has no such limitations + is free.
