Sorry but this was not my question. I'm sure this product based on
Autocad 2005 OEM do work with virtualization. I've tried it and as
soon as I know it works wihout any issue. I was just asking if you
know if there're some license restrictrion (law restrictions I mean)
for which I can't run Autocad over a virtualized plaform.
Thank you again for your help
