vista keeps getting deactivated

for some reason, my vista installation keeps getting deactivated for
some strange reason. I should mention that Vista is installed on my
Macbook Pro via boot camp. I also use Vmware to access the installation.
Can anyone shed light why this keeps happening? The only thing that I
can think of is that the switching between Vmware and Boot Camp is
making vista think that it is gettig moved from machine to machine but I
already did "reactivate" it last week and the problem is continuing.

Any ideas?

I believe you have guessed correctly - the switching between virtual
environments is triggering the re-activation. Stop doing it and the problem
should cease.
