do you want to use the VMs as stateless or statefull?
did you use the pool to assign a single vm per user from user portal, or 
just to create a bunch of similar VMs?

3.4 has "template versions", so you can create a new version of the 
template, and next time you shutdown/start the VMs, they will rebase to 
latest version of the template if pool is so defined.

you can also install the application on the VM after you start it as an 
admin (which doesn't create the stateless snapshot by default like when 
a user starts the pool'd vm from the user portal).
