Copy or Moved?
Since the updates to Version 15.x on our macOS based systems we saw an issue on all of those machines. Each time after rebooting the machines VMWare Fusion asked during the start of an Windows-VM if we copied or moved the system.
This behavior caused severe problems because all software that has been installed in the virtual hosts must be relicensed on a regular basis. But after a long time of searching we found a solution, that works for us like a charme:
We added a parameter to our vmx-file that addresses to keep the uuid of the machine if the virtual host would be moved. The parameter is:
uuid.action="keep"
After that adjustment Fusion never asked us again whether we had copied or moved the image, because we NEVER copied or moved them.
