The question is not around Solidworks actually, so please continue to read. The whole idea of virtualization is to be hardware independent.

Before our eyes a whole new dependency level is being created - affixment to the hypervisor. As far as I know searching in a way to find a workaround of this problem is not violation of the Solidworks license and local law in my country.
My client and I want to activate Solidworks Products on KVM virtual machine. For some weird reasons (Hyper-V and VMware are supposed to be well tested:) they (developers) of Solidworks 2015 PDM don't want their products to be activated (last 2014 version worked just fine) on Qemu-KVM.
I am using: As you can see it's KVM-based VM with Windows 2012 and Solidworks PDM installation. Question: What else can they check if I am running my VM in Qemu-KVM besides checking: • MAC address(es) of VM's Ethernet adapter, • Device driver labels, • CPU model, • ACPI tables. I am going to rule out the above mentioned things in next few hours, but I'd like to know if You have any other ideas. Solution: It turns out they validate two things: • As Michael Hampton correctly pointed there's -cpu,kvm=off option to disable the CPUID 0x40000000 leaf.
• ACPI Tables on the guest. Relevant parts of qemu command line parameters: -cpu host,kvm=off -smbios type=0,vendor=LENOVO,version=FBKTB4AUS,date=,release=1.180 -smbios type=1,manufacturer=LENOVO,product=30AH001GPB,version=ThinkStation P300,serial=S4M88119,uuid=cecf333d-6603-e511-97d5-6c0b843f98ba,sku=LENOVO_MT_30AH,family=P300 Libvirtd config file syntax: # Please notice there is xmlns definition in tag. Without it # and tags won't work. Acm-server d0e14081-b4a0-23b5-ae39-110a686b0e0 81920000 4 hvm # Please notice there is no CPU definition on the top. As a proof, now it wants to activate: Update r. DS Justice mentioned that Qemu (I used virtio in this example) disk mode may be relevant as well. Most current hypervisors that run on Intel hardware use CPUID leaves 0x40000000 et seq.
To pass information about the hypervisor from host to guest.,, and all use this method. This is in addition to the hypervisor feature flag set in CPUID leaf 0x1, which indicates that the machine is a virtual machine. It's therefore trivial for a program which can call the CPUID instruction to determine whether it is running under one of these hypervisors. Recent versions of KVM include a to disable the CPUID 0x40000000 leaf, -cpu kvm=off. The official way of activating Solidworks server on KVM is to apply for a 'Activation Exempt licensing for SolidWorks'.
We do this through the reseller, but possibly could be done directly through Solidworks support. Solidworks sends a license file that Solidworks License Manager loads through the Advanced Options of the Server Administration tab. Given that the last two years it has taken more than 2 weeks for Solidworks to send the license file, it would be nice to have them not blacklist KVM. Solidworks has an 'Enhancement Request' open with the title: 'Provide SNL Server support for VM KVM Qemu Libvirt.'
ER # 1- I found it by logging in to Solidworks portal, finding the Enhancement Request link, and typing KVM. Please leave a comment on this Enhancement Request! Hopefully they'll decide KVM is a legitimate virtualization environment. I just wanted to share my experience here as well, in case others are in a similar situation (trying to install solidworks on a virtualbox VM) My attempted setup: xubuntu 16.04 host OS, VirtualBox, Windows 10, and Solidworks 2015.
