I know the above method works because Ive personally tried it and have verified it works.

I have no use for it personally and cant tell you if it works.

Network Enable one adapter and set its MAC address to that of your real network card.

Well this wont work if you run VBox in bridged network mode, which I need.

Instead I used the tips from this site:.

What threw me was that when I switched from BootCamp to VBox I got the Must Authenticate message so I assumed I had failed, and I had to reenter the product key.

Then I got the Must Authenticate By Phone message so I thought I was really lost.

But once I reauthenticated by phone it stayed authenticated between boots.

I have no idea how Windows authentication works, so I cant explain it, but now Im happy.

In my case, Im using Ubuntu 12.04 and a current version of VirtBox 4.3.10, currently - I think it will work with any 4.2 version - but not certain- if in doubt use 4.3.

Create your Win7 VM using the OEM media.

Im using a DELL OEM install disk and my host box has an Dell OEM COA.

The method I describe works with a DELL bin file, because Im using Dell media - thus the SLIC table matches the Certificate on the install media.

Ive had a difficult time grabbing the SLIC table - in one box I tried this with, there was no SLIC table.

But there wasnt in this case, and I didnt want to burn 20 hours trying to figure out how to do so.

So, its easiest for me to find a SLIC table I can grab elsewhere, instead of trying to generate my own.

So, I did some google searches with the terms virtualbox slic 2.1 Since Im not sure what I can or can not post, Ill let you find your way a bit.

Theres a post on my digital life that talks about a W7 guest on a W7 host - but clearly this isnt what Im trying to do.

And I think wouldnt be technically legal using a single COAWindows License.

But using a Linux host with a (single) W7 guest with a valid COA should be.

Anyway, in that thread, theres a linked zip file with the SLIC table included.

Get it. Its called TableDellSLIC.BIN or something similar.

VBoxManage setextradata SomeVirtualBoxVM-Name VBoxInternalDevicesacpi0ConfigCustomTable somepathwhichhasyourbinfileDELLSLIC.BIN Where A) youll replace SomeVirtualBoxVM-Name with the name of the W7 VM you created above.

Obviously youll want to make sure the case is correct for the pathfile-name for the bin file.

If its not, check, again, that the media you used matches the SLIC table you used.

Im sure there are a million other reasons it could fail too, and Im not going to spend a bunch of time trying to grok it for you.
