I see. You have my pity.

No, i don't think so. In fact, if i were you, i would be more concerned about license issues than about software conflicts. Many software vendors do not accomodate well to virtualisation issues and most of them try to get you license the whole (physical) machine when you use the software in one partition (this is what most issues boil down to).

We had such an issue only recently with SAP and IBM (we use DB/2 under SAP) and ended up having to set up IBMs ITLM on one of our systems. Believe me, you don't want that. ;-))

I hope this helps.
