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 or any other hypervisor is good choice but keep in mind that some malware can escape VMs. Check your threat model and keep everything upto date.
