General Licensing Principles for VDI License the client for Windows and Office License for server access License for any required management technologies
Windows VDA • Required for all non-SA devices inside the corporate network • Required for any device outside the corporate network where the user is not the nominated primary user of device licensed inside the corporate network • A subscription licence tied to the term of the VL agreement it’s purchased through • Not available through the Open program • Counts towards the enterprise-widecommitment in an Enterprise Agreement • Licenses Windows 7 for use in avirtual OSE only on the licenseddevice
“For devices licensed with Windows and active Software Assurance or Windows VDA, you may remotely access up to four instances of the software running in virtual OSEs on your servers in your datacenter from the licensed device.” PC Thin Client VDA SA Microsoft Licensing Product Use Rights,March 2011, Page 120
“Network Device. You may also install additional copies on a network device… You may access and use the software remotely from another device.” PC Thin Client VDA SA • Microsoft Licensing Product Use Rights,March 2011, Page 17
VDI Suites Remote Desktop Services • Standard Suite: Restricted Use Rights CAL allowing access todesktops deployed through VDI • Premium Suite: Full Use Rights CAL allowing access to VDI andsession-based desktops, and use of App-V for RDS System Center Virtual Machine Manager • VMM Server licence • Special Use Rights CML to manage up to 4 virtualclient OSEs stored on up to 4 different VDI hosts System Center Configuration Manager • SCCM Server licence • Special Use Rights Standard SML to manage the physical OSE on VDI hosts System Center Operations Manager • SCOM Server licence • Special Use Rights Standard SMLtomanage the physical OSE on VDI hosts

Key questions • How many devices will access the VDI infrastructure • Within the corporate network? • Covered by Windows Software Assurance • Non-SA devices (BYOD, iPad, Android slates etc) • From outside the corporate network? • Where the user is the nominated user of a computer covered by Windows Software Assurance inside the corporate network • All others • Whose Broker and Hypervisor will you use? • Citrix and Hyper-V • Others • Will you be using an Remote Desktop Services feature? • Broker, RemoteFX, RDS protocol, RDS server • Will you be using App-V • Remember that VDA devices count towards company wide commitments
