Thx for detailed answer. Il check ot the links
What line if work are you in where you gained such detailed knowledge of this area?

If it's Respondus Lockdown Browser, their VM detection goes off even if you're on Windows
With vbox I don't think you can do that, nor with any other hypervisor delivering full virtualization. You could try with a paravirtualization, like Xen, and see if you can trick the OS
Note that I don't know if windows is supported as a paravirtualized guest.
There's patches for QEMU that bypasses anticheats and hides the virtualization and even makes Windows' use its own virtualization based protection.
Was about to post this. Running qemu command line can do this, unfortunately I don't have my old scripts to do it. It's pretty common when doing GPU passthrough, so maybe look there?
This looks promising, will give it a try thx!
Pirate a cracked version of the app so there's no activation at all?
It would be nice if I could find one
What app is it?
Solidworks 2016
I recommend FreeCAD
Yes.
Even if it's more limited compared to Solidworks, I bet learining to "cope" with FreeCAD will be easier in then end. One can even do CAD with Blander nowdays, but it's very different. Especially how you later undo an action.
is it on rutracker?
I don’t know, I got my installation back in 2016. Tbh, I was looking for another installation, but all I got looks the same. I can signup on rutracker if that is solution, but is it? do you know?
I don’t know is it allowed to talk about piracy here? :D Please warn me if its not.
First of all, I own a SW2016 license and that's why I’m trying to install the same version on another PC. I’m willing to switch version if needed, cant go back to dual boot windows anymore :D Some people obviously successfully masked virtualization. There are examples, but I couldn't figure out myself:
example 1: For Windows VirtualBox virtual machine use "hidevm.bat"
example 2: SolidWorks_Spoof.sh
example 3: link
I was hoping I just need to modify my virtualbox on linux, but seems like its much more complex. I'm still reading and doing my best, but I'm not even sure are guides made for host OS or guest OS
I have no precise answer for Solidworks, but i had success with specialized chemistry software (mnova, chemdraw) and HFSS so rutracker is a good first guess
There's entire instance dedicated to piracy, but not sure about this one. It's probably finr
Thx mate.
I ended up downloading new version and then installed 2016 by following guide from new one. It uses different activation method which is allowed, so no need to hide VM.
It might be possible to trick the app's activation function. But before you can do that, you'd have to understand how it is checking for virtualization, so that you know what aspect of the VM's behavior to tweak.
Someone on Lemmy might be able to help you with that, if they knew what app you were trying to use...
Im trying to install solidworks 2016 and Im getting same error like the one on the next link:
Everything I find seems like possible at first, but then too dificult to understand and possibly outdated
I see several torrents for solidworks 2016 on 1337x
Tbh I see only one, but maybe im using wrong instance. Ill look again, it would be much easier if I find one that doesnt need activation.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
