- spdionis 11y agoI know you can find many bundles on microsoft.com with vagrant file and box ready for you. It's for testing on various versions of Internet Explorer but I guess you can use it for whatever you want.
- rimantas 11y agohttp://modern.ie/ http://modern.ie/ — it has a link to VMs.
- sveiss 11y agoIt's treated the same as any other Windows VM (and thus depends on the product/edition and what channel you acquired the license from). In practical terms, the proper license would usually be a MSDN subscription; they're intended for development and testing, which is what Vagrant is mostly used for. (As an aside, the Technet ISOs have been discontinued for a while now; time-limited evaluation licenses are available instead.)
- 0xcde4c3db 11y agoI've tried to figure this out before, but everything I've read suggests that Microsoft doesn't support VM licensing/activation in a meaningful way unless you have Software Assurance, and even then it's kind of confusing.
