[macvoiceover] ot: vmware licensing

Hi list, sorry to post this here, but since many of you seem to be using 
virtual machines, i thought i'd give it a shot.
i used vm converter to successfuly migrate my windows xp laptop to a virtual 
machine on my new mac. the migration was successful, but now it wants me to 
activate windows. I only have an OEM license because windows came with my dell 
computer, and googling told me that I could call microsoft activation and 
they'd help migrate the license. however, ms thus far has been very unhelpful, 
and i only have limited access to sighted assistance (the activation dialog 
doesn't work with voiceover). SO, was just wondering if anyone had successfully 
done this before? if I need to buy another windows xp license I will, but would 
obviously rather avoid it.
