November 18, 20205 yr I bought a license to solid works and can not install it because it keeps recognizing that I am in a vm. I followed this blog and tried to edit my xml but was still getting the same error https://www.ringingliberty.com/2015/10/07/solidworks-activation-license-mode-is-not-supported-in-this-virtual-environment-qemu-kvm/ I then tried to just pull the raw disk image and run it on VMware fusion on my laptop which is approved(?) but fusion wouldn’t let me import the img file or the vmdk I converted it into using qemu-img what am I missing here? has anyone gotten this to work in anyway?

January 4, 20215 yr I installed Solidworks 2018 in a VM no issue (mid 2019), it was an EDU license and activated just fine. There was nothing special about my config, just the default win10 template. As that's probably of no use to you, I would look at approaches to mask virtualization, like needed by some for nvidia gpus
