Running Guest OS with different date time than Host OS
This is really useful to run old software with time limitations without messing up with the Host OS date/time settings.
It’s easy to specify a time offset from the Host OS in microseconds.
First get the vm name
VBoxManage list vms
Secondly apply the desired offset (example -1 year clock).
VBoxManage modifyvm "name in vm list" --biossystemtimeoffset -31536000000
