it will prompt you that you might have to reactivate. But of course it will because you are running on new "virtualized" hardware. No different then if you swapped out a mb or something else. When it boots it will throw the activation nag at you. You can either use a VL and do a repair or hopefully call MS and get them to reactivate.

However, does VM check for license compliance before it will either virtualize the system or host virtual sessions? or are we talking just about being in compliance just to keep it legal?
