Do they expire? Previousy IE VMs from Microsoft were only valid for ~90 days or something and required re-downloading (and then re-configuring all settings which was pita).
- trust-me 13y agoAnd often MS people would forget to upload updated VM.
- fuzzywalrus 13y agoThe great irony is I ended up hacking legal VMs. At least they're better about it now.
- jbyers 13y agoPer the blog post listed from modern.ie, the IE6 VMs expire after 90 days and the others become crippled after 90 days. Sounds like more of the same. http://blog.reybango.com/2013/02/04/making-internet-explorer-testing-easier-with-new-ie-vms/ http://blog.reybango.com/2013/02/04/making-internet-explorer...
- rschmitty 13y agoJust take a snapshot of your VM after you have configured it the way you like. I do this with VMWare. When 90 days goes by, roll back to that snap shot. take note of anything you upgraded since so you can create a new 90 day snapshot with more of the recent updates
- MicroAndMacro 13y agoHi vizzah. These are all Enterprise Evaluation versions of Windows for the most part and they all expire. We recommend you download once, take a snapshot BEFORE first use, then after 90 days revert to the snapshot. Not ideal I know as you still lose any changes you did to the image but saves you downloading again and configuring. Apologies for that bit of pain. Follow @IEDevChat for updates and stuff.
