The PhotoModeler License Agreement prohibits the install and use of PhotoModeler on a virtual machine (the Demo, Evaluation and Network Floating versions are allowed).
Occasionally the Virtual Machine check may return a false positive result and prevent PhotoModeler from launching, if certain Windows settings are enabled. The detection system can trigger even if you are not running PhotoModeler in the VM but a VM is detected on the computer. Example virtual machine systems in Windows are Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform, or Windows Sandbox. There may be others:
If you do not need these virtual machine systems you can disable them in your Windows settings and PhotoModeler should run.
- Press Windows Start or Search button on bottom left
- Type “Turn Windows features on or off”
- Deselect check boxes next to Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform, and Windows Sandbox
- Select OK
- Select Restart now

Contact Technical Support if you have problems with your installation or activation due to the Virtual Machine issue and please specify your Windows version, and any related Windows features/settings.
