Preferred PARALLELS config? Parallels image, or Bootcamp install...
#5
[quote Jem]But I'm guessing that if I do a BootCamp *AND* a Parallels (image) install that will count as TWO installs of my license (a real computer and a virtual computer)... if either install becomes hosed and I have to reinstall from scratch that might appear as a 3rd install, and require phone authorization from the MS mothership.
If you have a backup of the image, just replace the image.

Or, if I decide to get a MacPro or Intel iMac and want to move the license to that *instead* of the Mini, same issues apply. I'm assuming I can't just move parallels and the associated image to the MacPro with out the MS authorization scheme throwing a hissy. Or maybe I can... I don't know.

You probably can use the same image on two machines. You may have to mess with the parallels settings some to make sure you have the same MAC address on both.
