Apple makes it pretty annoying to run VMs on Apple hardware too. Their license agreement has restrictions in it that are kind of unfortunate.

Why are people so hung up on the licence agreement? VMs run fine all on all sorts of hardware, Mac’s, Nucs, NASs, actual servers etc.

I often see posted that using VMs violates the agreement, has someone been sued or something?

The post is literally about someone getting sued for providing this very service. Are you missing a /s?

A poorly written comment by me.

“Has an individual running a few VMs ever lost a lawsuit?” Is more what I mean.

Obviously fighting Apple would be terrible, but has an individual ever run into trouble?
