    The COA Key can be used on a VM- but ONLY if the following are true

    1) a NEW license is used as the host OS (NOT the OEM_SLP Key, or the COA Key)
    2) the VM is ONLY used on the machine with the appropriate sticker.

    I think after a while it goes, invalid license key or something - copy of Windows not genuine. That's what it did to me.
