Hi,

Can CMS run on VMWare in a QA or Development environment? How does the
licensing work if CMS is insalled on a VMWare?

Thanks,
Mike

Yes. MCMS works great on VMWare (and VirtualPC).
I have many (probably too many) VMs for MCMS dev.
In terms of licencing all the restrictions etc are the same, I recommend the
developer edition, which comes with MSDN universal.

I've found VirtualPC to be better in terms of host resource consumption,
also VirtualPC has undo disks, allowing you to revert all changes since you
powered up the VM.

Just to add:

MCMS is not officially supported on VPC and VMWARE. This means problems
which only happen on a VPC or VMWARE but cannot be reproduced on a phyiscal
machine will not be fixed.

Till now I have not heard about such an issue but it might be worth keeping
in mind.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Mike,

I have run several MCMS (and SPS/WSS/.NET) projects with all developers
developing inside a Virtual PC (or Virtual Server) machine and the QA
environments in VPC's as well.

I have not run into any issues to date (if anything its been better than
having to run up seperate developer machines).

Regards
