[PVE-User] Spice and Windows as VDI solution

[Daniel Bayerdorffer]

Hi Gilberto,

I was not totally up to speed on VDI licensing. But I just found this PDF on Microsoft's website. It sounds like you only need a VDA license if you don't already have Software Assurance.

How does Microsoft license the Windows ®  desktop for 
virtual environments? 
Microsoft licenses Windows for virtual desktops by access device:
 •  Virtual desktop access rights are a benefit of Windows Client 
Software Assurance (SA). Customers who intend to use PCs 
covered under SA have access to their Virtual Desktop Infrastruc-
ture (VDI) desktops at no additional charge. 
•   Customers who want to use devices that do not qualify for 
Windows Client SA, such as thin clients, will need to license those 
devices with Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) in order to 
access a Windows VDI desktop. Windows VDA is also applicable to 
third party devices, such as contractor or employee-owned PCs.

HTH,
Daniel

Hi

>> If you subscribe to Microsoft Volume Licensing you can use the same key
for each copy you run.
This is not true, at all! You'l need VDA license in order to run and access
Windows as a VDI, AFAIK.
