- Virtual machines are dynamic systems that are not executed directly on the computer hardware. Certain parameters can change dynamically as required here, and therefore cause problems within the GridVis licensing system.
- Due to new system parameters on the virtual machine, the GridVis software license is no longer accepted and it reverts back to the "GridVis Basic" license. Therefore, using the GridVis software within a virtual machine (e.g. VMware) is only suitable to a limited extent.
- The licensing system of the GridVis software checks the following parameters:
CPU Key: HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0 Values: "Identifier", "VendorIdentifier" Machine Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion Values: "ProductId", "CurrentVersion" DISK Size of the root partition This value is determined by Java. Can be viewed in the error report, file "SystemInfo.xml" filesystem\root\drive = hard disk name filesystem\root\totalspace = the value MAC List of all MAC addresses (of the computer but only percentages) without a loopback and without a PointToPoint.
- If the GridVis software is to be installed on a virtual machine despite this, inform your administrator of the licensing system.
