Problems with VM

Just to add my two cents worth, if you are law enforcement MS will give you a temp activation code for your VM. Another thing you can do is to use a tool (I use SPADA) to blow the DD image to a blank hard drive and install that drive into the suspect computer and boot.

I have done this many times, I have a iso image of a WPA that was changed by me to streamline things, if you do go on the net you can get applications for it.

its better if you have VMWare Workstation 5 or above
create a CD with the crack application
run the cd via vmware control panel allowing the CD option

if you want step by step instructions pm me with your contact details
