Node-Locked licenses

The Node-Locked license is bound to one computer. You can run only one TestComplete instance at a time on this computer.

Do not activate Node-Locked licenses on virtual computers. If you need to run tests on virtual computers, use Floating User licenses or TestExecute.

Note:

If you have a trial version of TestComplete (which is always licensed as Node-Locked), you can activate it on virtual computers. However, we do not recommend doing it. For more information, see Using TestComplete on Virtual Machines.

Thanks for the updates. 

According to the docs it is possible that we can have node lock license get activated in Virtual computer provided that hardware properties of virtual computer do not change ?

It is possible, yes, but you will have to be very careful with those settings.
