Hi ramindia,
That was a great reply mate! If I understood well you got great knowledge of labbing with checkpoints.
We use them daily at job, and I really want to set up a lab with Some checkpoints and one vm with smart dashboard.

My question is

1)the dashboard server license is expiring every 2 weeks, so I need to rebuild a vm with winxp and dashboard software every 15 days?

2)if we create a qemu checkpoint, we will have to rebuild it also every 15 days due to the licensing will expire?

Thank you.

Yes we do have many clusters of CP in work environment, If you are certified CCSE or you hold of any partner, you can get license for 90days ..

90 days more enough to explore all the options of CP.
