Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / October 2004Activate Windows in VPC7
Hi, I am planning to purchase Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Pro. I was just wondering if you have to activate the version of Windows that is bundled with VPC7. Thanks > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks Only if you intend to use it for longer than 30 days. :-) Bill Yes and no. Mostly yes. It's Windows XP, so therefore it requires activation within 30 days. You could, theoretically, not activate and just reinstall the drive image every 30 days to avoid activation. Why you'd want to do that when you've paid for the copy of Windows that came with it and are intitled to activate it, I've not a clue. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks I have a similar question. I need VPC for the sole purpose of using MS Project. I will export the gantt charts as pdfs to my Mac. I have no desire to connect a Windows OS to the internet and expose myself to viruses so I did not plan to have any internet connectivity for my windows. Is this not feasible?

If you use the Shared Networking option, VPC can make outgoing connections but can't receive incoming ones -- it's similar to being behind a firewall. And I guess you could totally disable Windows's networking -- uninstall the TCP/IP protocol on the network interface.

Works like a champ. i don't want to connect to the internet with XP. If I need a file I can DL it on the Mac side and put it in a shared folder. Bill Thanks to all!
