Hi  
I just installed the virtual machine of ODK Aggregate 1.4 on a vSphere enviroment and suddenly the machine enter in a state of hibernation or suspend mode. The virtual machine shows a black screen and i have to move to mouse in order to enter in active mode.

Is there a way to disable this option an allow the Virtual Machine to run 24/7?

Best regards,

Hi @nestor.lopez! The old VM is, well a bit old! Can you try the [ODK Aggregate v1.5](https://forum.getodk.org/t/odk-aggregate-v1-5/12493) VM? And see if that works better?
