Yes, I am running mine on a server 2012 VM hosted on ESXi
just pass USB through to the VM.
You will need to re-insert the USB Dongle once you pass the device through to the VM. -This is just a quirk I discovered.

Thanks, I was thinking of giving it a go anyway. I figured passing the USB dongle through would be the way to go but nice to have confirmation.

I'm doing the same thing. ESXi 5.x, running Win 7 as a guest and it's working perfectly. No issues pulling/re-inserting the stick, either. Acts just like a normal USB device. I'd recommend at least 1.5 gigs of RAM and two vCPUs for better performance.

Me three. I am running 1 VCPU and 1GB of memory which seems fine. Basically using a stripped down Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Under ESXi 4.1. I do get a weekly bluescreen hang/crash on the VM, but have not had the time to diagnose it. I don't think it has anything to do with VMWare.

Have fun. My biggest problem at this point is thinking of stuff to do with it all!

Hi Josh, I'm running ESXi 5.x with Aeon Labs Zstick on Windows 7. Works fine. ESXi host is just a Lenovo T400.
