I have tried to run CM PE2 on Windows 7.
I got the message as attached.
It shows no license available
There always need to input account/password for CM PE2..
But It is not on W7 system

By the way,My CM 16.5 is OK on the same laptop.....
May someone to help me to solve this.

Is CM PE2 not support on W7?

CoCreate Modeling Personal Edition and the license schema that is used to allow you to use the product was released long before Windows 7.
It will not run.

I'm running PE2 on Windows 7 Professional using Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode. Seems to run just fine.

Note that you do need at least the Pro version. Windows 7 Home Premium won't work, according to Microsoft. It's a $90 upgrade to Pro from Home Premium. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/anytime-upgrade/home-premium.aspx for more information.

Also note, I do believe you need to install PE2 *after* you have installed Virtual PC, XP Mode and XP Mode update, and do so while *running* in XP mode.
