    Currently using VMware Workstation Pro 12 and I was wondering what are some way/s that I can configure so that the program I'm trying to run doesn't think I'm running it under a VM?

    I think you just have to add hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" to the end of the vdx file. I know that that's how you prevent Nvidia from seeing that it is in a VM so i'd have to assume that it would work for other programs as well.
