Product Activation

The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 product activation feature creates a numerical

key based on the virtual hardware in the virtual machine where it is installed. Changes

in the configuration of the virtual machine may require you to reactivate the

operating system. There are some steps you can take to minimize the number of

significant changes.

• Set the final memory size for your virtual machine before you activate Windows

Server 2003. When you cross certain thresholds — approximately 32MB, 64MB,

128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB — the product activation feature sees the

changes as significant.

Note: The size reported to the Windows product activation feature is slightly

less than the actual amount configured for the virtual machine. For example,

128MB is interpreted as falling in the 64MB–127MB range.

• Install VMware Tools before you activate Windows Server 2003. When the SVGA

driver in the VMware Tools package is installed, it activates features in the virtual

graphics adapter that make it appear to Windows Server 2003 as a new graphics

adapter.

• If you want to experiment with any other aspects of the virtual machine

configuration, do so before activating Windows Server 2003. Keep in mind that

typically you have 14 days for experimentation before you have to activate the

operating system. (Your EULA may define a different period before activation is

required.)

For more details on Windows Server 2003 product activation, see the Microsoft Web

site.

Display Hardware Acceleration

Windows Server 2003 has display adapter hardware acceleration disabled by default.

This slows down graphics performance and mouse responsiveness in the guest

operating system.

To enable hardware acceleration in a Windows Server 2003 guest, open the Control

Panel, then open the Display Properties control panel. On the Settings tab, click

Advanced. On the Troubleshoot tab, drag the Hardware acceleration slider all the

way to Full.
