I'm X5 in a Windows 10 Pro VM on a MacBook under VMware Fusion. I just bought the new version of X5, installed and activated it. I noticed it was running a bit slow so I decided to add more CPU's and memory. When starting X5 it asked me to activate again.
Does the program think I have installed it on another machine because of the additional CPU & RAM?
If so this worries me as while I adjust the VM settings for maximum performance, I may run into an issue of not be able to activate it again.

I think some programs get the s/n of the CPU to enforce license paramters.
I'm using Parallels on a Macbook pro - works great - just upgraded to the 16" from a 6 year old 13".
Significantly faster project saves.
