The installation is very straightforward, it's an OVA, what problem are you having?

Yes, I strongly suggest you start by reviewing training

Hi Jaime,

Yes, I have gone through it

You can use the same OVA, install it as many times as needed.  The licenses for CMS use the MAC address of interface a, which is the MAC address of the VM and not the host.  The CMS that will act as a database server does not need to be licensed, unless you plan on activating features that require an activated Call Bridge.
