Running TurbActivate on Mac with Bootcamp

User is running his Mac under Bootcamp and he receives the following message: "Activation Error. You cannot activate <program-name> inside a virtual machine or a hypervisor. Please use a real computer. Finish." If I were to Allow Virtual Machine Activations, would this solve this user's issue?

Hey Patrick,

Booting up a Windows instance on a Mac machine will not be detected as a VM. What they're probably actually doing is using VM software (like Parallels) to load that "Bootcamp instance" (or as every other piece of software in existence calls it: partition on a hard drive) inside a VM.

In other words, they're running Windows in a VM and TurboActivate is correctly telling you that they're running your app in a VM.

It depends. The actual solution is to use TurboFloat: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/vm-hypervisor-licensing/

If you just all TA activations in VMs it might work for a little while. Or it might work until the next reboot. So, the actual solution is to use TurboFloat.
