hardware calibration etc and linux

does anybody happen to know if it is possible to use a spyder on a virtual pc?
I mean this: Virtualbox is installed on Linux. Windows is installed on Virtualbox. a calibration software such as Palette Master Element is installed on the virtual Windows.
I am thinking of buying a license key for Windows in order to install it was a virtual system and then use it for the Palette Master Element software and the Olympus Viewer in order to update the firmware of my camera and lenses.
but the license would be more or less useless if it would not work.
