I installed Windows XP on my new MacBookPro using BootCamp. I activated Windows and everything was running perfectly. I then downloaded and installed Parallels 3 and have it using my BootCamp install of Windows. But it seems that since Parallels represents itself as different hardware than BootCamp, Windows requires re-authorization and it is not accepting its current code. I want to be able to run Windows through both Parallels and BootCamp...is this not possible?

Thanks!

This very question is a stickies in this forum.
