I used virt-p2v to create a Windows instance of a fresh install. I had just bought a new machine and thought I would be clever if I did this before wiping it and installing Ubuntu. It mostly worked. I actually wrote down what happened and here's the weird story. Licensing is stupid. When I was done, it told me I needed to activate but then it complained and said I had the wrong license type for a VM. I forget the wording of that though.
Also though, afaik you can run without activating indefinitely.
So you got it virt'ed but you never got it back into a "properly activated" state?
The p2v option is certainly good to know.
