Windows cannot find microsoft software license terms

Question

Good day everyone,
I am fond of new Microsoft technologies, therefore I have just tried to install Windows Server Technology Preview under VMWare Player 6. But, when I beginning the installation, I get this error:
Windows cannot find microsoft software license terms
and installation fails. Bing says it is something about memory size, but I assigned 8GB of memory to this virtual machine and still get same error. Same problem under virtualbox, and unfortunately I don't have access to Hyper-V under Windows 7.
Could you help me to fix this issue?

Hi Anatoliy,
It shouldn't happen , I have installed server preview as a VM in my hyper-v server .
As a workaround you can try to use "boot from VHD" to run the OS on you hardware directly (when booting from the VHD ,it will occupy the max size of that VHD on your physical volume) .
The following article contains "how to boot from vhd " :

By the way ,what version is your CPU ? As far as I know , if you want to install X64 OS in VMWare the CPU should be 64bit .
Best Regards

In memory settings uncheck the box for Dynamic Memory Allocation. This made the virtual machine start with 512MB de memory
