Could restoration key to make a Virtual Machine (VM) ?

I was curious if the USB restoration key was bootable and could be used to create a virtual machine using VMware, Parallels, or VirtualBox?

What would be the purpose of making a virtual machine of the classmate, when the driver station software is available for running on any PC?

I'm fairly certain that doing so would violate the Windows XP license.

The restoration key seems to just be an image of the Classmate at the point in time they shipped it. It would not have any Windows OS install files on it, just the files for the programs that were present at the time of image. I would guess you may use it to put the image on a machine with the same version of Windows OS as the Classmate, but not 100% sure, but to use it solely as a VM or bootable disc, would now work.

Thank you for your reply.

That was my goal - to have a virtual driver station which I understand has no purpose.

Sorry, I did not understand that the LabVIEW FRC 2010 Game Dashboard Project *was* the driver station ( or am I am I confused about this too? ).

Thanks,

Sorry, you are confused about that too.

The Driver Station Software can be installed on any PC by going here and following the link for "Mandatory Driver Station Update/Driver Station Installer (for use on any PC)"

You can actually have a driver station on your own personal laptop.
Just go ahead and install the newest driver station update on your computer and you're good to go.

There are two parts to the interface: The Dashboard which we are free to manipulate and the driver station, which is provided in the update and not allowed to manipulate. Here's more info on how to do just that:
