corporate version of Windows 7 Ultimate no longer genuine after P2V migration

Windows 7 Ultimate edition on my corporate laptop no longer genuine after P2V migration...

I tried slui utility but it did not help. It asks me to either enter / buy a new key or contact Dell representatives.

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate. I am afraid the Win could be bound to the hardware (Dell Latitude E6420).

After P2V conversion there is a label on my desktop in the bottom right corner saying:

This copy of Windows is not genuine

Any ideas if a change to the VM / its configuration could help (I am using VMWare Player 5.0.2 build-1031769 on Fedora 19 x64 Linux)?

Something to do inside the VM in Win to solve the problem?

EDIT: here is the problem:

Error Code: 0xC004F057 Error Text: The Software Licensing Service reported that the computer BIOS is missing a required license.

(found out thanks to MS Toolkit/EZActivator)

EDIT2: SOLUTION: the problem was solved by using an external SLIC 2.1 enabled Dell BIOS ROM with the VMWare Player used to run my Win 7 box. I found out that my Win is OEM with the distribution channel set to OEM_SLP.

In the beginning I hoped to use the original Dell A16 BIOS from the physical machine dumped to disk but it seems that the VMWare (Player v5) has no support for Ami Optio type BIOSes. So I had to get another Dell BIOS file.

Solution steps: 1) download VMWare Mega BIOS Pack v2 2) choose a Dell SLIC 2.1 enabled BIOS rom 3) copy the file into the vm machine folder 4) add this line to the machine.VMX configuration file: bios440.filename = "<BIOS filename>" 5) problem solved

The Windows 7 detects the Dell SLIC BIOS and activates itself again.

PS yes, probably I am violating the terms of the Micro$oft OEM license and I don't give a s... It is definitely not my choice to use the MS-produced crap.

First of all you should determine which licensing type your'e using. If you have OEM version of your Win7 then yes, it is bound to hardware and it is illegal to use it elswhere. If you have a "box" version you can use it in vm, but it's still can only be installed on one machine (physical or virtual). If you have a real corporate licensing type (Opel License, for example), you should contact you system administrator for help.

OEM and box versions mean you should have a sticker (type of license stated there) with a cd-key and if you have box version, try activating your copy over internet. If it fails - call to local microsot call-center.
