Run Micromine 2018 on a virtual PC?
Does anyone know if it is possible to run Micromine 2018 on a virtual PC? I want to see if my Micromine python scripts will continue to OK if I install Anaconda (for python) and don't want to risk messing things up on my 'live' PC...I have copied the .licx file and enabled the USB dongle on the virtual PC, but MM won't start - it only opens up the licence manager, as if there is no dongle connected. Thanks

Hi Steve!
Sorry for the wait. It took time to figure out the answer to your question. We also updated your licence in our licencing system properly.
Yes, you can run Micromine 2018 on virtual PC (I tested VirtualBox and VMware). In order to run Micromine you need to activate licence on the virtual machine once more. Copying .licx file does not work this way.
The activation process is the same as on a physical machine (please see more details below). You are right, USB dongle should be enabled on the virtual PC. Don't forget to install drivers for the dongle if it is required.
When you run Micromine on the virtual machine you will see a familiar dialog window. Please press "Activate the dongle".
Then please press Next:
Then fill out a form and press Next:
Then Next one more time :)
If everything is ok you will see:
Now you can run Micromine on your virtual PC.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Maxim, Many thanks for arranging this - all works now fine on the VM. Much appreciated. Steve
