I used to run this already sketchy software with its even sketchier crack on my old notebook because I really didn’t give a fuck about how syphilitic it was, but now that I need it again and only have my current device, I’m kinda worried.
ps: it needs internet connection.
Virtualbox is free. I hate it, but it definitely works at no cost. VMware Workstation is also free.
Edit: without double-checking to make sure I’m saying it correctly, you probably want to avoid a bridged network and assign one of the other types of network adapters for separation of network devices, but you’ll have to search the terminology to find details.
