Is it possible to keep the Zend key working through a virtual machine?

Question

linux

Good afternoon community.
The following question is of interest:
We use the Web Application of one company, they use Zend Guard Loader to protect their software.
We gave them a generated zend ID key, based on the hardware of our server, they answered us with a key-license for Zend.
Everything would be fine, but in such a bundle it is simply very inconvenient to work, there is no scalability and server redundancy.
We have already met with the problem several times that due to software or hardware problems, the work got up for 2 days until we get a new zend key from them. In this regard, the next question, maybe someone has already done this. Is it possible, by some means of virtualization (VMWare or Vbox, or others), to raise a server in a virtual machine, get a key for it, and then backup, expand, cut, transfer to the cloud, in working order?

Answer 1

Here, most likely, it will be correct to install the software on the developer's hardware, so that he himself monitors it.
And for you it will be a service.
Or change the software protection method.

Answer 2

This is probably a megaplane you have? :)
A similar problem, any rustle with a virtual machine is a new key
