Going to go with number 2 😁, thank you so much for taking time to help.

The only error I get is when trying to log into imessage, the error I get is call customer support with the id. I am not sure how to inspect NVRAM but I have verified that my network is en0. I edited the SMBIOS within Clover on the Catalina instance, following a few different flavors of tutorials, one mentioned making sure the UUID in the SMBIOS matched the imessage_debug, which after I make changes in the clover tool and reboot I get a different ioplatformUUId within imessage_debug that does not match the SMBIOS value. For the wan ip device quota, I originally loaded Mojave, failed at getting imessage to work, so wiped the vm and started fresh with Catalina, once I tried imessage on Catalina is when I started getting that customer support error message, do you think I got flagged with my apple id logging in to many times?

I have successfully loaded and can use the Catalina VM - many thanks to Spaceinvaderone and others for the help, the only issue left is getting imessages up and running (which in reading different posts seems very tricky), and after reviewing posts I loaded Clover on my Catalina instance and modified the SMBIOS following a few tutorials I found with no success. My Imessage_debug shows a changing UUID. So my two questions I have, 1) the mounted EFI within the VM of Catalina is the correct place to edit? Or should I be editing the SMBIOS on a file on my Unraid server? 2) ghost82 and other posts mentioned disconnecting the internet as soon as I can to update serial numbers, how would you do that for just the VM of Catalina? I cannot drop the internet for the server as it is being utilized by others.
