I have one of my two iClone/3DXChange licenses installed on my main desktop where I use it most of the time. However for travel purpose I have created a Virtual Machine, on a portable USB 3.0 drive, with iClone/3DXChange installed using my second license. In VirtualBox this worked for iClone when running in DirectX 9 mode (I never got the experimental updated DirectX driver to work properly in order to run iClone and 3DXChange in more recent DirectX mode) but 3DXchange6 required more up-to-date drivers and thus would not run. So, instead, I switched to VMPlayer which seemed to allow both iClone and 3DXChange to work.

Recently my Virtual Machine with the installation was corrupted and I needed to recreate it. When I re-installed iClone and 3DXChange, I received a message indicating that the software cannot run in a Virtual Machine.

Does anyone know if there was some anti-VM check added in the 6.52 patches or is this a VMPlayer error indicating that my process for setting up the VM was different than before?

If there was some anti-VM check added in the 6.52 patches, what was the reason? It seems like it was not there before. Was it done to combat illegal duplication of licensed versions of the software? It seems to me that there are legit reasons for wanting to run iClone/3DXchange in a VM. Two, off the top of my head, are: Travel (as in my case) and running RL software from a non-Windows machine (such as a Mac).

Anyone have some insight on this?
