I have a Macbook Air with a busted screen that is running Monterey 12.7.1. I have been using remote services to get back into the Mac instead of having to get it fixed or buying a new one. I then decided to just make it into a virtual machine. I've used Time Machine to create a backup and then installed Monterey on a VM and used Migration Assistant to restore the backup.
My question is can I reuse the serial number and MAC address from my old, busted Mac to activate iMessage on this VM if it's the same Apple account? Or would I be better off just using some random unused serial number? I'd prefer to use my own serial number so I don't have to worry about taking someone else's if that's a possibility. Also, with this method, is there any high risk of Apple realizing it's a VM and shutting it down?
