You can use the lmgr() function, e.g. lmgr(/VM) returns 1 if the current
session is using a VM license, and there are many other options.

I am a little confused about the reference to IDL 5.x though, since I
thought the VM wasn't introduced until V6.0. (So if you are running
V5.x then you know it is not a VM license...) --Wayne
