OEM licenses are normally locked to the hardware i.e. cannot be activated again on different hardware.

A VM does show a different hardware to windows, therefore it is considered that you are activating on multiple physical machines, which is not allowed.

For virtualization you are supposed to get full retail version or Volume License key.
