Advanced Plus Security Shmu26 Windows Config in 2019

I find that windows inside virtualbox does not want to activate when connected to the internet, any way to solve that issue?

Try to find a solution in Google: WINDOWS DOES NOT ACTIVATE INSIDE VIRTUALBOX - Google Search

It seems You are not the only who got a similar issue...

Hmm, I don't know, I didn't have any activation problems. If you are using a single license, keep in mind that the VM is considered a different machine, and thus needs a different license.
If you have a volume license installation, it will work even without any activation at all, but you can't do certain customizations, such as choose your wallpaper.
That's about all I know about it.

Well then I’m out of luck, because I bought my laptop with windows 8.1 pro preinstalled e.g single license . Oh well, if the only limitation is the wallpaper I can live with that no problem. Thanks alot for the information shmu26.

You can buy a license on ebay for super cheap. I did it a few times, and it always worked. Once Windows is activated with a single license, even an ebay one, you won't have problems after that.

Anyway it doesn't matter much, activation would just allow you to perform some personalization, no one cares about it for a VM.
