[dba-Tech] XP Virtual Machine

I just set up a VM (in VirtualBox) to run Windows XP, and now I have 29 days
left to activate it. So I tried, and MS told me that it's no longer
supported and that I should upgrade to Windows 7. Ironically, VirtualBox is
running in Windows 7. So how can I get from here to there? I just wanted to
set up an XP VM to emulate a client's setup. Does this mean I cannot do
this? My copy of XP is already activated. MS knows who I am. Sheesh!

Any clever ideas?
