Is it possible to get original windows 7 or 10 for my KVM in centos 7 to be used as guest. I am currently running free windows 7 VM provided by Microsoft which has license for about 90 days and it can be re-activated 5 times.



But still if want to buy windows to be installed as guest in my Centos system as guest.Also, do i need to make a note of my VMs hardware since if the MAC of the VM changes for some reason then the microsoft probably block that licence from being used.



I just need a single licence for home volume licence is unnecessary for me.

  • What research have you done? The Windows 7 license clearly defines your rights to use Windows on a virtual machine. Microsoft doesn’t actually “block” licenses. Your MAC address has never affected the activation status of Windows

  • I had bought windows keys online twice previously and it worked for a while but later found out that microsoft blocked those twice here is why "answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/…" wondering how do they identify if this was not an original key.My assumption was that probably it is linked to a particular MAC address and it is blocked if it is installed on another computer or VM

  • They were not blocked. It sounds you purchased gray market licenses, that were volume licenses, which must communicate with a KVM once every 180 days. Legitimate Retail licenses are not blocked and come with transfer rights. Your assumption is incorrect.
