Hey Murali<br />
<br />
That being said, would it make the most sense to get the 6.5 cert as close to the expiration date of the 6 exam then rather than shaving about 4 months of being certified?<br />
What are your thoughts? I rather get 24 months than reducing it to 20!<br />
&nbsp; <br />
Thanks!

If you would rather get 24 months, than 20 then go for it!

My VCP in 6.0 expires January 31, 2019. &nbsp;I can take the VMware 2V0-622D exam. &nbsp;I am waiting for an answer from VMware, I spoke to two different people and received 3 different answers. &nbsp;What I was trying to find out is, if I were to take the exam for 6.5 and pass it by end of Sept. &nbsp;Does my new certification in 6.5 pick up Feb 1, 2019 or or do I lose 4 months time because I would get it dated in Sept 2018? &nbsp;No one seems to know for sure! &nbsp;Or is it that I still end up keeping the 6.0 cert but it is considered archived for a while?<br />
<br />
I am waiting for a call back from VM Ware but something tells me, it won't happen until next week and I can use the study time over the weekend<br />
Thanks guys!!

Question about when VCP expires and new cert date starts..

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

certification

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
