Windows 11 Virgin MachinesAnswered

I'd start by using the latest version of TurboActivate. It sounds like you're using an old one.

Definitely running 4.4.4.0 on Windows.

Here is the error if I try to use a fresh Extension code

“Can't Extend Trial: The function failed because this instance of your program is running inside a virtual machine / hypervisor and you've prevented the function from running inside a VM.”

getting this in and and outside of Visual Studio on this rig that is definitely not a VM.  ;-)

It's tanking on this line
WindowMain.self.ta.ExtendTrial(extension);

Any ideas why it thinks it's a VM?

All the Hyper-V and everything in that article were already off.  I only have Windows Defender ON.  When this machine was sent it had the HP Wolf Security on it that I immediately removed so maybe something with that is left over causing the false positive.  
Regardless, we can't tell users evaluating our software to do the steps in that article so I just ticked ON to “Allow VM Activations” in the LimeLM Dashboard and that fixed the issues.  This older version our software is currently being re-written fully from the ground up so security is not a big issue since it's a dead program walking at this point.  ;-)

I look at it this way….If our users and gonna clone a VM and restore it every 15 days to start the trial mode over to do real work they deserver to have it for free for the trouble…..haha.

Anyway….thx for pointing me on right directing to fix it!
Cya!
