Do I need to install VMWare tools after IMPORTING my bootcamp partition

[Mac-key]

I know when you run your bootcamp partition in a virtualized environment you have to run VMWare tools to deal with the activation issues you might encounter.

But if I IMPORT my bootcamp partition, do I need to install the VMWARE tools then too? Or do I just simply import and rock it out.

I've been researching this for a LONG time (read all the stuff on vmware's site), just want to make sure I set it up correctly on the front end.

The VMWare tools do more than just help with activation. They have ties to the functionality that allows them to suspend a virtual machine, allows virtual machines to access hardware functions, etc. I'd recommend installing them.
