I have Vegas 11 Pro. I've installed it in a VM (VMWare Workstation 7 Virtual Machine). My host PC has an NVidia GTX 580 card, and both my host and guest OS are Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.
It looks like GPU Acceleration is not available when Vegas is installed in a guest VM?
As an aside, I originally installled Vegas 11 from the install CD/DVD (while disconnected from the Internet). Since I didn't want to waste an activation if GPU acceleration wasn't available, I downloaded trial version of Vegas Pro 11 on another machine. Then I ran this install in my VM (without uninstalling the CD/DVD version). I then connected my VM to the internet, and started and registered (what I thought was the trial of) Vegas. I didn't put in any serial number, but when I look at the help screen it's picked up my serial number. I hope I'm not going to have problems moving this install to a different PC (I'll probably end up installing it on my host PC instead if GPU acceleration isn't available in a VM guest machine).
