How to hide programs from recognizing a VM environment?

Post by Blakevm »

I am trying to run a work application and it's being prevented from running.
Sorry I can't post urls here is what the error message says:
"Running this application inside a virtual machine is forbidden"

Does anyone know how to trick the application into thinking I am not running virtualized? It's not really a program I want to have on my main computer because I don't want people to have access to it as it has private documents in there.

Thank you.

Unless you have the source code to the application, you can't. Period.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
