Hi Dhruv, Thank you for your comments and support.

For example, some VMs contain software whose license is keyed by the VM's MAC address. If the MAC address changes, the software stops working. There are some VMs for which a MAC address change may work, but the MAC address change is visible to the VM's OS - the device driver for the virtual NIC has to reconfigure, and that's potentially disruptive and non-transparent depending on what that device driver and OS can cope with. > Should we use the word "oracle" in the ID?
