Vmware fusion & autodesk license on mac

[Anonymous]

I installed my autodesk product on my macbook pro in a bootcamp partition (Win7)..then i installed vmware fusion 4 and, as the user manual says: "you can use my bootcamp partition as a virtual machine and no longer reboot all the time you need win7". The fact is that at the lunch of autodesk product in vmware it looks at the bootcamp virtual machine as a new installation and it block my license both in vmware and in bootcamp. But it should be the same machine!!! 

I had a new activation code from customer support, but i don't know if i can use it also in vmware or not..

A virtual machine is technically a different machine. You can activate it there too without issue.

Little misunderstanding: i have only ONE license, activated on bootcamp partition. 

Now i want use that license on vmware on the "non" virtual machine, because vmware loads my bootcamp partition as a virtual machine so it should be the same machine! Or not?

Not necessarily.  If it loads your other partition as a virtual machine, then techically the physical hardware mapping has changed to virtual.  That being the case, your activation will be invalidated.
