[MacTUG] Running Windows under Parallels?

[Mike Gore]

Hi,

    The key controls what version of Windows it thinks it is - change 
the key to a pro or educational version from home and windows switches 
identity.

(At lease in my experiences - so far - I have updated home to pro by 
switching keys and changed normal pro to education that can be activated 
via license server)
