@BRRABill Once had that with a vet clinic. Pure crap. Their software also stated that you couldn't run it on a virtualized environment. This is going back about 4 years.
I'm facing the exact same situation ... I cannot Virtualize a client's server, cause they run a third-party application, and the vendor says that they will not support the app, if it's running on a VM.... What a load of B.S !!
Then demonstrate to the client what they are missing out on. You are their technical adviser, present them the business losses by continuing with this method.
How many downsides can you think of by not going virtual? Help them make an informed choice with all the facts.
And that would indicate that there is probably a competitor out there with a better product that has been missed. there are exceptions, but it's pretty rare that no one makes good software. Customers love to claim that they are stuck with one vendor, but that is almost never the case.
I wish it were that simple ... Things for the client to consider, before shifting to a better product ...
-
Cost of Shifting to a new product ...
-
Migrating the data from the existing product to the new one
-
Training
So, more often that not, the client would just prefer to stick with the existing software .. Infact, doing so, would, more often than not, work-out to be the cheaper option, as compared to shifting to a new product, just so that their servers can be Virtualized ..
