Hi guys,

Had a quick question. I know its really simple to move over VM's to new comps and what not but what happens in regards to the the programs that have licensing and what not. Adobe X and Quickbooks are pretty strict when it comes to serial keys and I'm trying to figure out what the safe route is. Should I deactivate on my old VM, then copy it over to my new comp, then re activate? Could I just leave it activated and move it over? What happens if both comps are running windows at the same time? Very curious on how licensing works in terms of VM? More so if I had to deactivate all the paid programs before moving it over.
