While you can run a License Manager on a VM, the constraints imposed by the licensing system make using a VM worse than using a physical machine if you can't control how the VM is managed. If you have the choice of using a physical machine, take it.
As for using the same machine to run TestComplete and serve licenses,.... yes, you can do that. In fact, you have the same license server bits already installed as part of the TestComplete installation. (The License Manager installation is just a repackaging of only the license server bits and pretty interface, and no TestComplete bits.)
Thank you Joseph. Now, I have another question. The complete configuration is as follows: We have QA Complete installed and setup on a VM. If we install TestComplete on 5 Physical machines, is it still feasible to integrate with QA Complete?

That should be fine. As long as the QAC machine (virtual or otherwise) can talk to the TestComplete machines, and as long as the TestComplete machines can talk to the License Manager machine (wherever that is), you should be OK.
Is it possible to access TestComplete on VM if Licence manager is install on Stand Alone (Local ) Machine.
If VM machine and Local machine having at different location (Local machine - INDIA, VM on US)

As long as TestComplete can access the License Manager over port 1947, it can get a license. Problems occur, though, when the various intervening networks block traffic on this port.
