You'll have to decide what you want to do.
You can only activate a single Vista license
on one computer or Virtual PC, not both.

I run vista ultimate sp1 in virtualpc on xp.

Later, when I have a new computer I want to use this copy of vista on the new hardware.

Is there a way I can activate for virtualpc, then later, activate the same copy on the new computer? I don't want to use up this
copy just for virtualpc.
