I am experimenting with using the free version of fusion to load windows on my boot camp partition. The activation of windows appears to be okay, but office 2002 is having problems. I activated it within windows natively (e.g., under boot camp), but when I try to run an office app from within fusion, it tells me I need to reactivate it; and, when I do so, I get a message that it was already been activated for another computer, so I can't activate it. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a work around?
Next up, I'm going to want to install and activate visual studio 2005. I would like to be able to use visual studio both under boot camp and under fusion. Is this not going to be possible?
