If you don't mind doing it, you can reverse engineer it to remove the VM detections / make a stealthy VM.

Some of them use state of the art obfuscation to make this a PIA, others are not that good[0]

The one I've taken a look at(forgot it's name) was using VMProtect and had a competently written VM detection routine. It wasn't my exam so I recommended that they use a kvm switch instead of fumbling around with vm hiding tools.

This was something I attempted, but couldn't get it to work. At some point we just have to refuse.
