On the Intel site, hardware virtualization is also documented as supported. : FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 SSE4.2 POPCNT I have the following setup and getting also this behavior :-/ # Pad with leading zero’s if length is less than 32 # Convert Hexadecimal numbers on the command line, just prefix the value with ‘0x’ $ProcessorId = Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor I played around with this in PowerShell after reading your post and have come up with a short script to automate the conversion and generate the syntax for adding into the VMX file. Nice post, this is very interesting – thanks for sharing. Special thanks to Jim Mattson from VMware to point me into the right direction. In my case it worked like a charm and the VM runs without any problems. Also I don´t know if this is supported by VMware. If your new ID includes some of this features, this doesn´t mean that it doesn’t work, but you should verify that your VMs still runs correctly. Some of this features are for sure not available or at least don’t make sense for a virtual CPU.
A list of all this features is included in the wiki article I already mentioned above.
The installation process has quite a few steps to it, so following on my my vMX Getting Started Guide for KVM, here is a quick post showing you how to do it on your home lab running Vmware Hypervisor ESXi 6.0. The macOS installer.app uses the boardID value to figure out if the Mac Model is supported. Note: The 32-bits of the edx register includes information about specific features the CPU presents to a guest OS. As of Junos 15.1F4, Juniper are now officially supporting vMX on Vmware. vmx, the Fusion refused to boot the VM with an error that. Power up your VM and verify the current CPUID with the command shown in step 1. This parts you now need to convert form hexadecimal into binary. The picture bellows shows how to spilt this ID into the two required parts. For more details check out this wiki article. The ID I figured out consists out of two register parts of the assembly instructions of a CPU. Below you see an example output from my notebook. To do this on a Windows server or desktop open the powershell and run the command Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor. It took me a while to figure out how to fake the CPUID as I didn´t find anything helpful on the web.įind out the CPUID you actual need.
Without a valid license the application didn´t even started.
Make sure you paste it in really clean, get rid of unnecessary blanks (ok), and save the. Then, copy whatever we just did on the other Notepad window, and paste it (between board-id reflectHost and firmware 'efi').
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) Model Identifier 3,1 or later. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) Model Identifier 3,1 or later. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) Model Identifier 2,1 or later. He already created a new VM and installed the application but didn´t get any further, because the license file wasn´t accepted. In Notepad, find 'board-id reflectHost', and set that to 'FALSE'. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
Some weeks ago a customer had the special situation that the software vendor didn´t exists anymore and his physical old server was crashing all the time, which was hosting this special application. The normal and probably easiest way is to request / generate a new license file for your new (virtual) hardware. I have virtualized some servers with applications, which used this kind of license checks. The application checks if the ID within this file matches to the actual CPU ID to complete this mechanism. Mostly this is realized with license files, which include the ID of your CPU. During my time in the IT I have also seen some products, where the license is tied to the underlying hardware of your server.
For the most software products the license verification is done with license keys.
