Thank > you! >From wikipedia: Intel vPro technology is an umbrella marketing term used by Intel for a large collection of computer hardware technologies, including Hyperthreading, Turbo Boost 3.0, VT-x, VT-d, Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), and Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). So it's a nebulous collection of processor and platform features and AFAIK, there's no set of instructions to follow to make a vPro compatible VM. The application you're trying to use has effectively locked itself out of being run in a VM, perhaps intentionally so. You'd probably need to run the app in a debugger, figure out exactly what it's testing for, resolve that, and repeat until it works.
