With LM-X you can allow or forbid to use your application in a virtual enviroment. LM-X detects most of virtualization technologies including VMWare, Microsoft Virtual Server, VirtualBox.

Virtual machine environments are typically undesirable for use with software licensing. Normally, operating systems running in virtual environments are designed to be hardware independent, so ethernet or harddisk hostids no longer specify physical hardware identifiers. Duplicating the virtual machines and modifying the hostids is simple and takes minutes to perform.

Virtual machine licensing lets you explicitly allow trusted and enterprise customers to use your application in a virtual environment.
You can allow virtual machine licensing by specifying the SHARE keyword VIRTUAL for the particular feature in the license file.
