    I converted my IBM T60P XP to vmware image. Opened it on my MAC Pro using Fusion. Stuck at activation.

    Tried to add an IBM bios and bios440.filename = "315SLP1.ROM" in the vmx file. When I try to log in it asks me to activate and provide key. I tried a number of oem keys and also jellybeaned the key from the T60p.. neither work.

    Not sure what certs were on the t60 as it was a factory install. Can't get past the activate window screen to try an activation crack.

    Any ideas?????

    Thanks

    Thanks Sebus, and yes Win XP. My memory is foggy when it comes to messing around with XP. With your help I got it working. Now I can retire old faithful.
