It was running just until the upgrade to ovirt 3.2 and then the VM was
test started before the upgrade to ovirt 3.3. If the license issue
came between 3.1>3.2 or between 3.2>3.3 I right dont know.

It seems that a changes in the display system triggered the Software
Protection service.
When I check the logs I can see there was and upgrade/change/new
install of drivers to the display adapter. I dont know if I got a new
PCI address, but when I checked a VM that does not triggered the
Software Protection service I cannot find such things in the loggfiles.

So in one way or another the VM think there was changes big enough to
hit the Software Protection service.

only upgrade, not a specific VM run? In other words it doesn't check the BIOS 
serial number since that's different on each hypervisor.

in addition to stable PCI addresses, new QEMU/KVM release sometimes change the 
system hardware - emulated machine mode.
or if it is really subtle, it can also be triggered by new devices (e.g. 
balloon, virtio-console (used to be in 3.0, removed in 3.1, optional in 3.3)) 
or simple upgrade of virtio drivers

anyway, so what changes in devices you can see after upgrade?

oVirt tries to keep stable device addresses (e.g. pci slot) specifically to 
prevent this issue.
The way it is done is that after running the VM we query libvirt for all the 
device addresses and on next run we provide libvirt with the same addresses to 
keep the devices from changing.
This feature was not available in 3.0 so I see 2 options here:
1. this VM was not started (or was running) since 3.0
2. introduction of new virtual hardware caused a change in the device addresses 
for some reason (bug).

Anyway, adding Michal who is more familiar with this part than I.

So the issue may in some cases be avoided, but in others, will

Hi,
No, its not related to that bug. That bug was found in my test
environment. The problem with VMs that lost their activation status is
in my production environment.

One cause I just investigate is that those VMs that have lost their
activation was running on another node before the upgrade then after
the upgrade. The problem should then be in differences between my
nodes. Even as I does not had that problem before.

Why is the Windows VMs always lost their activation against Microsoft
after that I have upgrade ovirt?
Is there så big changes in hardware drivers etc that it will hit the
activation mechanism?

I think there should be a way to preserve the activation even after an
upgrade.

I think you should complain about this to the OS vendor :-)
It simply means that the `Hardware` changed and I don't think that this 
should happen, for larger setups that's a pretty big problem, if you 
suddenly have to re-activate thousands of VM's due to the upgrade.

Hi,
Yes I am sure its related to the upgrade.

In the application log of the VM we can see  "hardware has changed from
previous boot" and also we have a licensing system on another host that
got in a stucked state because of the same reason - "hardware has
changed from previous boot".

Hmm, we have also upgraded from 3.2 to 3.3 with Windows guests and we
never had this issue. Are you sure it´s really related to the upgrade?
Maybe it´s a different issue that surfaced at the same time?

[Users] After upgrade of ovirt > 3.3 all Windows vms lost their activation against Microsoft

Hi,

Why is the Windows VMs always lost their activation against Microsoft
after that I have upgrade ovirt?
Is there så big changes in hardware drivers etc that it will hit the
activation mechanism?

I think there should be a way to preserve the activation even after an
upgrade.

regards
