Problem when using Sentinel HL Key on virtual machine

we would like to use a Nikon Pro software which relies on a Sentinel HL Key, on a virtual machine.

We have a myUTN-80 USB/IP gateway, so we tried to use it for this key, but if the devices is well recognized on the Windows 2016 system, when I try to launch HASP Info or the installation of the software, I got an 

Reading HASP SRM memory failed

"HASP Error 27".

I tried to connect directly the device on an VMWare ESX host, but the problem is the same.

Is any way to use this software key on a VMWare ESX VM ?

Thank you
