Yep. I use virtual machines in my work life every day. They're great things. I would postulate that the average HLC user doesn't install the software in one, though. They install it in their Windows box and don't think about it any more.
And even a vm image isn't a perfect solution. No matter what software you're using (a VMware product, Oracle, or whatever else), things break or go sideways. You
do run updates on the vm, periodically, right? Anyway, my point is that there's a good chance that
eventually you'll have to re-register the product. And if the licensing server isn't running anymore then you're no better off than someone running HLO.
