I am trying to run Microsoft's VPC VMs on Windows 8 but no luck.

As you may know, Micros~1's Virtual PC software doesn't work on Windows 8. They are recommended to use their new virtualisation technology, Hyper-V, instead of Virtual PC. Okay, fair enough, but the problem is, OSes requires to re-activate when I bind them with a new VM.

I extracted the VM's spec from VPC versions and tried to create exact machine but it doesn't work either.

So, I need to find a way to work with old IE versions on Windows 8, preferably with those VMs. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
