Powershell detecting my laptop as a virtual machine

Post by robven1921 »

To help you better we need some information from you.

*** Please fill in the fields below. If you leave fields empty or specify 'latest' rather than the actual version your answer will be delayed as we will be forced to ask you for this information. ***

Product, version and build: Powershell Studio 2022 V 5.8.212
Operating system: Windows 11
PowerShell version(s): 7, 5.1 ISE
32-bit version of software?

*** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

Powershell Studio is erroneously detecting that it is installed on a virtual machine.
I do have VM software installed on my device, but I installed this software locally.
Downloaded the 45 day trial to try the product out.

Yes, that can happen. There are sometimes false positives. Just get a VM Trial key from your SAPIEN account page and plug it in.
After that the trial operates like any other.
