exactly thats problem. look at standalone Laptops to controll and change
parameters etc in the chips in the engine of modern cars.
The engineers plug in a laptop (without NW access) via parallel cable to the
car.
They can use vmWare with a single protected copy of the software on 100
laptops...
We do NOT develop car engine control sw, but the problem is the same.

exactly. you can use our SW with Hardware protection like parallel port or
USB dongles and then we do not have problems when you use it inside vmWare.
(you can even use a server dongle with N licences activated and use the SW
concurrently at any N Workstations (incl. virtual workstations) at any time.
if you use N vmWare sessions on one physical machine, noone else can use the
product.
But if you prefer a not hardware base protection we do not allow vmWare
session due to the possibility of 100% identical configurations.
greetings from vienna,
