Abstract: An administrator may set restrictions related to the operation of a virtual machine (VM), and virtualization software enforces such restrictions. There may be restrictions related to the general use of the VM, such as who may use the VM, when the VM may be used, and on what physical computers the VM may be used. There may be similar restrictions related to a general ability to modify a VM, such as who may modify the VM. There may also be restrictions related to what modifications may be made to a VM, such as whether the VM may be modified to enable access to various devices or other resources. There may also be restrictions related to how the VM may be used and what may be done with the VM. Information related to the VM and any restrictions placed on the operation of the VM may be encrypted to inhibit a user from circumventing the restrictions.

Abstract translation: 管理员可以设置与虚拟机（VM）的操作有关的限制，虚拟化软件会强制执行这些限制。 可能存在与VM的一般使用有关的限制，例如可以使用VM的VM，可以使用VM以及可以在什么物理计算机上使用VM。 可能存在与修改VM的一般能力相关的类似限制，例如可能修改VM的人。 还可能存在与对VM进行什么修改有关的限制，例如VM是否可被修改以允许访问各种设备或其他资源。 还可能存在与VM的使用方式有关的限制，以及可能对VM做什么。 与VM相关的信息和对VM的操作的任何限制可以被加密，以阻止用户规避限制。
