问题 (The Question)

SuperUser reader jl6 wants to know if a licensed and activated copy of Windows 7 can be moved to a virtual machine on the same computer:

I have read the SuperUser about transferring a license, but I am confused when it comes to the licensed, activated copy of Windows 7 that I already have running on my PC. I want to move the license to a virtual machine running in Ubuntu on the same PC, but am I allowed to do this?

我已经阅读了有关转让许可证的SuperUser ，但是对于我已经在PC上运行的Windows 7的许可的激活副本，我感到困惑。 我想将许可证移至在同一台PC上的Ubuntu中运行的虚拟机，但是我可以这样做吗？

jl6是否可以将此Windows 7副本合法地移动到同一台计算机上的虚拟机？

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributor Dawn Benton has the answer for us:

超级用户贡献者Dawn Benton为我们提供了答案：

Section 3d of both the OEM and Retail licenses of the versions I checked (Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Home Premium) state:

我检查过的版本(Windows 7 Professional和Windows 7 Home Premium)的OEM和零售许可证的第3d部分规定：

• d. Use with Virtualization Technologies. Instead of using the software directly on the licensed computer, you may install and use the software within only one virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system on the licensed computer.
  d。 与虚拟化技术一起使用。 可以直接在许可计算机上的一个虚拟(或仿真的)硬件系统内安装和使用该软件，而不是直接在许可计算机上使用该软件。

Since the original poster’s machine is the licensed computer, will be running Ubuntu as a host OS, and have Windows running in a single virtual machine on a virtual hardware system on the same licensed computer, then according to this, it is okay.

由于原始发布者的计算机是许可计算机，将作为主机OS运行Ubuntu，并且Windows在同一许可计算机上的虚拟硬件系统上的单个虚拟机中运行，因此，这是可以的。
