    Based on the guide I am looking at, that answer would be no. This guide was all written up assuming Windows 7 as host, however.

    Additional Requirement VMWare:
    Add/replace the following line to the created VM *.vmx file
    Code:
    uuid.bios = "56 4d 81 c6 cd 3a d8 e4-db 29 75 6d f1 39 ac b9"

    Additional Requirement VirtualBox:
    replace the 'Machine uuid' to the created VM *.vbox file as well as in the VirtualBox.xml file (VirtualBox.xml is typically located
    in 'C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.VirtualBox')
    Code:
    Machine uuid="{83e2aa4e-9e58-4cb1-af96-5a8c2fb40232}"

    I already tried the information from the .pdf guide, the uuid listed did not work for me since it was listed for Windows 7... since the uuid have the same amount the letter/numbers, just the '-' are located differently so I was wondering maybe...

    You assume wrong. This is just clients, no servers. At least not till a server/client KMS keys gets leaked. :sorry:

    If you need server activated, use mooo for now till or if a server/client CSVLK is leaked where we can upgrade if possible. For clients you can use mine :)
