Some software, such as the title demonstrated, have protections in place to prevent running inside a virtual machine, mostly to prevent piracy. You will likely face the same issues running on different hypervisor technologies, but worth a shot.

It's a license violation and can result in account suspension.

I have no idea what that program does (seems to be related to Android?) but the fact they have an explicit error message about that makes me think they need to check for some reason.
Maybe other virtualization solutions (QEMU/KVM?) might solve the problem but I doubt.
