Question relating to my other post regarding vMBG

[wireman50]

So we have everything up and running in a hyper-v VM. latest host and MBG and its complaining about the licence which is for a server install of MBG as noted. Question is will getting the MBG to vMGB licence still work even though its on hyper-v rather than vmware?

I am loth to spend £100 or so just to find out. Anyone got a definitive answer?

The customer does not use vmware at all they are completely hyper-v so a vmware install is not looking likely and as said it looks like the install and start up has completed successfully and it just needs the licence.

and to answer my own question yes it is. Just found the doc (which is hidden in plain sight on the product docs page).

WEll, that was interesting. All worked as planned after upgrading the MBG with virtual licensing till it came to make calls. We had copied all the relevant settings from the old install and restored to the new Linux/MBG and nothing had changed on the firewall but we had no way transmission. Spent a couple of hours checking and checking until i decided to run a call trace and there it was; failing on a TCP checksum every single time from their server back to me. So a quick google finds that the guest NIC had TCP Checksum offload enabled and disabling that in the guest (Linux) settings let it all spring into life.

Hope that may help someone in the future.
