    Hi there,

    I'm trying to install Orca3D in a windows 7 running on a virtualbox on mac os 10.6 with no success. Does anyone have any experience in running orca3d on virtual machines in mac os?

    Cheers

    I suspect the programers have specifically designed the software not to run on virtual machines, this to avoid having people using a image over and over again to get around the limitations of a trial version.

    That's right. Their licensing is hardware-based and doesn't work on virtual machines. Had to partition my HD, and boot windows 7 natively. Not it runs ok.
