Can the word "template " be used as a verb
Hello,
I know that as a noun, template means "a fixed pattern of something", but I have never come across the situation where it can be used as a verb, as follows, so please kindly explain it to me.
Context:(about virtualization)
In case you didn't know, VMware offers an enterprise-grade hypervisor for free: VMware ESXi. It's essentially a stripped-down hypervisor with limited hardware compatibility compared to its big brother ESX, but it will install and run just fine on most modern server-class systems. It offers most of the goodness of ESX without the bothersome licensing, but its feature set is restricted without the purchase of VMware vCenter and requisite licenses. For instance, you can't clone or template virtual machines on a stand-alone ESXi deployment, use vMotion, or a number of other restrictions. Given the price, though, you get far, far more than what you pay for.
Thanks!!!
Best regards,

I think it is implied that the sentence means "You can't clone or make a template."

Hi,
In tehnical fields, and in business generally, it is not unusual for people to try to use a noun as a verb. Sometimes the meaning is clear. This time, to me, it isn't.
