When I try it now using the latest version of VMF, it seems that the eth0 network interface (Ubuntu VM) disappears in the clone. I have tried using the advanced options to generate a new MAC for the clone but with no luck. I have used your procedure in the past with great success.

For the copied option, vmware products change the MAC address of the vm to avoid collisions, which is one of the things WinLicensing looks at. (Note: have not yet tested.) @Eric – If you choose “moved” when moving the vm to a new host, it *may* be fine.

All was well for a while, then Win7 complained that the hardware had changed, and stopped working without a new license. I'm fine with getting another license, but the problem is that i want to only maintain one windows environment with all of its installed applications, settings, etc. By having to relicense Windows, I am changing the copy, which means that I can no longer maintain just one VM image. Is there any way around this? I have done this copy/clone operation but moved the clone to my laptop.

I have a question about snapshots: the same snapshots that were associated with the original are still associated with the clone, which is both a blessing and a curse. Is there any way that you know of to disassociate the snapshots from the clone without deleting them from the original? Nice article, thanks for publishing it.
