After the scan, you create an image of the reference machine, after the required applications are installed. The process then detects all changes following the installation and starts the final capture.

Prerequisites

All application, update, and configuration changes must be successfully finished, including machine restarts that the application installer requires.

Procedure

  1. In a Reference CVD view, select the reference CVD where you installed the applications to be captured.
  2. Right-click the reference CVD and select Finalize App Layer Capture.

    In the Web Management, Finalize App Layer Capture is available on the CVD Inventory toolbar.

  3. Verify the list of applications to be captured and click Next.
  4. (Optional) Select the Show Updates checkbox to display hot fixes for Windows that were installed in the recording phase.
  5. Select the type of capture and click Next.

  7. If Microsoft Office 2010 or Microsoft Office 2013 is installed, define your Microsoft Office license keys and click Next.
