Virtual Machines
Desktop App will work in virtual machines (VM) as long as the operating system is supported. However, we recommend that you let the Desktop App run on the VM's host machine. VM’s are simulated environments; there are subtle differences when running on an actual machine. This sometimes causes issues with the Desktop App.
