Are you planning to run a P2V physical to virtual conversion on your server? If you do that the virtual server will still have the application installed and should continue to work.
Translated with Google (does that look correct) my french is a bit rusty:
Envisagez-vous d’effectuer une conversion physique à virtuelle P2V sur votre serveur? Si vous faites cela, le serveur virtuel aura toujours l'application installée et devrait continuer à fonctionner.
