We don't mind our software running in a VM. What we mind is multiple copies of the same license on different VMs. When a client purchases a license, the terms include the option of VM deployments, which trigger additional auditing rights. So if a client has an air-gapped no-VM license, we want to block that license from running on a VM.

Ah, okay. That makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
