Double-Take Invalid License when you upgrade to Windows 2008

My host system has 4 virtual servers on it. When I upgrade the host from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 I now get an invalid license error in Double-take. I'm on hold right now. When I get the problem resolved I will tell you what they had me do. I'm hoping that they just issue me a valid license for this. We'll see.

Well, I just spoke to Mike Brown. He said that it appears that Double-take is determining that with Hyper-v guest components that it is a physical server instead of a virtual one. He gave me a 6 day key until they could resolve the issue. They will get back to me.

Double-take are really good at support. You can talk to someone that speaks english and they are pretty knowledgeable.
