still no luck. used to work great on vmware 9 could anyone give me detailed instructions? I already tried everything. Windows 8 ENT x86 & VMWARE 10
I am using it on vmware 10 & working fine... you can try by changing hardware compatibility to "workstation 9.0".. Post ATM log.. did you installed office host packed before restore?
Actually, never mind. I had the original Retail MSDN version installed lol. I found a working retail product key, and now it's activated. Used Advanced Tokens Manager to backup, just in-case

Have you used the ATM backup from the post you referred to? Then there should be only one product key applied at the time of restore (Your log shows three product keys being applied!). Can you check and see if it helps.
