What happens if I try to use a soft lock under a VM or a VM lock on a bare-metal OS?
This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.
If an attempt is made to activate a soft lock in a VM, it is not activated; the following message is displayed:
Activation failed (400); Could not generate the license because Product id 20410 will be completely unusable on virtual machine. VM enabled features are required for provided VM fingerprint/current-state.
An attempt to activate a VM lock in a bare-metal OS (that is, not in a VM) succeeds, but the resulting license cannot be re-hosted. For this reason we do not recommend this combination.
