Re: [Xen-users] Why does domU Windows have to be re-registered after	Xen
 
The more important question can be, if XP lets you re-activate the OS or tells you to call Redmond?

  Just wondering if anybody knows the answer to this mystery?
  I upgraded my Dom0 from Xen 3.0.4 + kernel 2.6.16.33-xen to Xen 3.1.0 + kernel 2.6.18-xen.
  After the upgrade, my domU (WInXP home edition) popped up a message saying that it needed to be re-registered with Microsoft, owing to significant changes in the hardware environment on which it is running.  Something about windows genuine advantage (ie. they suspect it's a pirate copy?)
  Just wondering...  Does anybody know what changes these might be?  There's nothing obvious that I can tell, but something about my new Xen 3.1.0 environment is different enough to upset Microsoft.  It's the same memory size, same peripherals etc.
  The only thing I can think of is PAE versus non-PAE.  My new 3.1.0 installation is PAE, my old one was not (as far as I know anyway).   Could that be it?
  Not critical that I get to the bottom of this, but I'm curious.
  Derek.
