    This is a ridiculous policy. If I bought a piece of hardware with a license, that license should cover that hardware no matter how it is used. I run software for automation from different companies that are not always friendly with the windows resources and refuse to run properly on the same windows computer. I need a permanent VM to load the software in separate environments, but my company will not allow it because of Window's ridiculous license requirements.
