While the full Linux-based server image can be installed on a virtual machine, it is not specifically designed for that purpose. Installations that run Blocks in a virtualized environment often have different priorities than those using a stand-alone server. Many of the features included in the full server Linux image are typically managed by other parts of the infrastructure in a virtualized environment. | While the full Linux-based server image can be installed on a virtual machine, it is not specifically designed for that purpose.

Assuming both the guest and host operating systems are on the same network (which they will be when using a network adapter in bridge mode), a license key connected to the host computer can be accessed. This assumes network access is allowed in the license keys's settings (more on this below). Thus, the physical USB key can be connected to the host computer and will then be automatically found by Blocks. | ||
