I remember something like this happening to me a long time ago. I believe it happens because when you access the windows bootcamp installation via fusion, it is as though you are running windows, and everything in it, on a new computer. The fusion virtual environment is essentially a simulated piece of hardware and windows thinks it is being run on a different piece of hardware than it was authorized for. The same goes for Jaws, Office, and all other programs that are tied to the hardware for licensing purposes. Having said all that, I don’t remember the fix, but I believe there is one. Otherwise you’d have to reauthorize everything for use in fusion. It might be in the way you access the bootcamp. There is some setting to be checked or unchecked when you import the bootcamp into fusion. I know that when you import a VM file into fusion from another machine, you have to be careful to “move” and not “copy” the vm, otherwise fusion won’t import the license along with the vm file. and you’ll have to reauthorize everything because when you do a copy, you’re essentially “creating a new copy of windows that requires authorization. Something like that may be happening when you import the bootcamp into fusion. In fact, I’d bet on it. You may want to try deleting the bootcamp VM, (not bootcamp itself, just the imported VM), and reimport the bootcamp partition and watch for this sort of thing.
