TurboActivate for VPS installations?

Post by Wyatt O'Day on Apr 24, 2013

We've also covered them in "Licensing from inside a virtual machine or hypervisor".

Post by Wyatt O'Day on May 2, 2013

Yeah, that's just the design of Hyper-V -- everything, including the base OS, runs atop the hypervisor. It's different than say VMWare or Virtual Box, both of which are self-contained VM's that run atop a non-VM instance.
