Yes, you can update your virtual reference machine overtime, however you will need to account for product activation. Depending on the licensing model that you company uses the manner in which you accomplish this could vary. I would suggest activating the virtual machine if you intend to use it and update it overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'll see what my colleagues say about charging each client for 1 additional license, so their base image has that functionality. Basically though for me, I was hoping to have 1 base image, that when I then need to build for a new client I can modify that one to suit ; looks like I won't be able to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
