I'd like to have a windows vm in our Proxmox VE for purpose of providing daily windows builds and potentially making official windows releases there too. I could use a cross-compiler instead but I don't trust them for official builds because compilers hosted on windows are the focus of MinGW/MinGW-W64 projects. Cross-compilers may be less tested. Also, a real windows install would be nice for testing builds in place, right on the vm.
However there's a matter of licensing. I don't want to create trouble for the project by installing an unlicensed windows into the vm. Proper licensing isn't just a matter of buying a retail license since such usage scenario is incompatible with microsoft's retail and OEM licenses. It seems to require Volume License deal with special license for virtualized installs. Is it possible for the project to acquire such a license? Maybe I'm wrong about volume license and some other arrangement can be made? _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
