I have listed some pertinent codes on detecting Virtual Machines, these are :

Detect Hyper-V Virtual Machine

Detect WINE emulator

Detect the Virtual Box Virtual Machine

This thread forms the discussions for these codes, if you encounter detections through
the use of these programs or not able to detect , please let me know.

These VM and emulator are commonly used in the Windows and Linux platforms
by users who can pirate your programs,  therefore detections are vital to
discourage the use of VM to pirate your products. 

Once a VM is detected, just stop the program and exit.  Or  make it GPF 
or do something irrelevant to make it difficult for them to make copies of your programs ?
