I will have to deploy a Virtual Machine on laptop. The user will can use this virtual machine with only one restriction, He can not copy/clone/move... this virtual machine to another computer.
If I encrypt the virtual machine the user will need the password to start the virtual machine... And He will can copy/move/clone... it.
I think that in the past VMware ACE did this operation but now I do not know how I can do it.
Do you know How Can I protect a VMware Virtual Machine to avoid the copy of this VM to another computer?
Thanks.
Try using NTFS encrytion on Virtual Machine folder.

After this, restrict user to write VMDK, OFV and other VMware files only in Virtual Machine folder

I thought if I uninstalled VM VirtualBox all the virtual machines will be deleted as well, but the free storage space in my computer has not changed, so how can I delete the virtual machines?
The VMs are mostly stored here:
C:\Users\[username]\VirtualBox VMs
you can just delete them there
After rebooting is it possible to open a Hyper-V virtual machine without going through the Manager? It seems like it is already running in the background or maybe it is just in its last state.
If the OS in the Hyper-V virtual allows for remoting and also it is on the same network as the attempt to open a remote desktop to that virtual.
Note that the default network adapter for a virtual will provide a different IP address than what the local network provides to the server. You will most likely want to create a network adapter (in Hyper-V) which shares the network card to the virtual and the virtual will get its IP address from the local network.
If you can ping it, then it can be remoted to..but other things within the virtual has to allow for remoting.
Upon reading the OPs comments, it is clear that the need is to launch the virtual outside of Hyper-V. Hyper-V uses VMConnect.exe to achieve that...and that is available.
One can do that in an elevated Powershell shell such as:
vmconnect {Local/remote computer name} {Virtual Name}
such as
vmconnect Hyperion W10-Zephyr
where Hyperion is the local computer name and W10-Zephyr is the virtual's name.

Think this example:
You are using Windows as a host machine and you are using ( virtualbox ) Linux for virtual machine. When you connect to the internet from virtual machine, someone try to track you. Now, can tracker find your host machine's footprint or just virtual machine's footprint? So, from the connection of virtual machine, the host machine can identifiable?
I try to search that but i can't find any result. Maybe i don't know the right words.
No, the host machine won't be identifiable
I have CentOS7 installed on Vmware, and I'm able to access it through SSH from my computer where Vmware is installed. I need to access my virtual machine from another computer. Is this possible? and what are the steps to complete this?
It is possible. You need to bridge your network adapter with the one on the VM, and then it will be accessible the same way your PC is.
In VM ware Virtual machine i have installed the Centos in Window 7.Now i want to re install my Window 7 but i do not want to loose my virtual machine Centos. I Google many time for this topic but did not find any helpful information.
Any help?
Thanks
Your virtual machine is saved under the form of multiple files, which you can easily back-up on an external hard-drive, or in the cloud. If you are using VMWare, then your machine will be split into .vmdk, .vmx, .vmxf, .vmsd and .nvram files, depending on your VM configuration.
Just check where you store the VM files, and back them up before re-installing the host system. Afterwards, just import the .vmx file back into VMWare.
In VMWare Player right-click on your VM, go to Settings, then Options, and under Working Directory you should see where your VM files are stored. Just back-up that entire folder before reinstalling.
