> Personally I have come to the conclusion that the best solution is virtual machines with a linux base system. Put every game that is sticky to windows into its own little container and just have hardware passed through.

Is there a Windows license available to consumers that allows simultaneous installation on multiple VMs under a non-Windows-based hypervisor?

Not really no. I recall that linus tech tips had same question when they made a similar setup.

The question about "how many installations does one license allow" does not seem to be much explored by the courts, so I am not that worried for personal setup like this. One could argue that multiple VM is just technical details for what is in practical terms a single user and a single machine.
