> My VM image HWID got banned from using App Store fairly soon

I never heard about HWID on Mac OS X before, and quick googling didn't produce any information about HWID on Hackintosh. Are you sure that is the real issue? Where can I read more about HWID?



Sorry. I probably shouldn't have called it HWID, but the fact is: App Store account that I've registered using said VM was after about a months limited so I unable to use it.

So I came to conclusion they detected it's was used on VM and limited it.

PS: And yeah I tried to use another new store account that also stuck in same state.


I guess it's because you used the same image as many other people?.. Which brings me to the question: was it an install disk image, or a pre-installed, ready-to-go OS image? Can you install a fresh OS from an install disk?


I used pre-installed image, but I converted one for VMWare simply since it's easier and I don't care of security implications for this particular VM.

Yes of course you can. It's explained on GitHub.
