You can find an OEM version of Windows 8 Pro for $150. The Windows VDA license is about $100/device/yr. Tuscani wrote: Gotcha.Any idea what the VDA license costs compared to say a retail copy of Windows 7 or 8? I like the idea of just handing users a server based VM, but we know that many apps will not run on server based OSs. However, you can provide a Windows Server VM as a server to a customer through RDS. The Windows VDA/SA license is not available under SPLA (asВ to provide a Windows desktop OS VM from a sever as a service). Do we just use a SPLA key for Windows 8 VMs that are connected to via the RDS gateway?The Windows VDA license (or through Windows Client SA) is the license required to access a Windows desktop OS VM from a server.

If you were to assign a retail copy of Windows desktop OS (XP, Vista, W7, W8, etc) to a server - the retail copy of Windows could only be used on the device. Only the primary user of the licensed device may remotely access his/her device.With server hardware, there is no primary user, therefore isВ considered a shared device. Tuscani wrote: Unless I missed somehting, why not just buy a one time retail copy of Windows 8 for each VDI VM? Lol because, it is not allowed.

You dont have to have RDS licenses if you used windows 8.1 VMs on the Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition and connected with those VM's using those VM's built in Remote Desktop service and not through the server's services. Other users may access a session from any device using these technologies, if the remote device is separately licensed to run the software. The single primary user of the licensed computer may access a session from any other device using Remote Desktop or similar technologies.A вЂњsessionвЂќ means the experience of interacting with the software, directly or indirectly, through any combination of input, output and display peripherals. Remote Access Technologies You may access and use the software installed on the licensed computer remotely from another device using remote access technologies as follows. The Windows VDA would be the license required.The Windows desktop OS EULA states this.

Virtual machines?I understand the access rights licenses for example say my user has a win 8.1 upgrade with SA assigned to them.If the user connecting has SA assigned to their DEVICE (There is no SA assigned to a user) then they can connect to them. If I have 5 Windows 7 VM's on a Server (that is backed by Server 2012 R2 Datacenter which does not matter), then how do you license.those. There is NO user CAL (this is the reason Brian Madden left the Microsoft MVP program in anger.) While not a user CAL, but a VDA license kinda acts the same - allows a user to connect from an unlimited number of devices to the VM that the VDA is assigned to - right?

So lets say I connect to VDI from a company issued Macbook Pro, A thin Client, a work issued iPad, and my Windows Desktop. Its a one year license that is attached to a device. With those if you have users with multiple devices you can choose to to the User CAL rate and it make compliance easy, as well as much cheaper (1 CAL for EVERYTHING a user connects from).

Why VDI compliance is really something that 99% of shops have committed some violation on accident (unless they completely ban non-company devices from connecting in). Brian Madden quit the Microsoft MVP program. Does everyone now see why 1. 2012 R2 Remote Desktop LicensingWhich now that I think about it, I don't think you can get a CDL license without SA, so I think in that case my personal iPad would just be illegal under any situation that it touched the company network. Now as long as my Macbook Air that I personally own stays in the parking lot and never connects from the office it can be used under home use because I have SA on my desktop, however if It was my only device then it would need a VDA (can't put SA on a personal device). Now to make it REALLY FUN, since the iPad is mine personally, BUT it touches the office, I would need to get a CDL License to attach to my SA on my work desktop.

Great thread here and I need to ask a very specific question in relation to RDS CAL requirement with a VDI solution. Honestly I wish they would just Sell a 'user CAL' for 300 a year (hell it could be a 1000, just something) and maybe a USER Office CAL for another 400 and we just move on. Again, I'm not advocating people deploy or do anything out of compliance, just pointing out that this mess is so bad (and adding CDL to the fire didn't help) that Microsoft has invented something more complicated than IBM Mainframe licensing. I suspect if they have VDA for the work devices, or SA for at least one device for every person they just walk away rather than attempt from logs to reconstruct where someone's iPad was physically located when they connected. The one thing I can say is I've never actually seen what happens when Microsoft/BSA tries to audit someone.

Can someone confirm are the RDS CAL's required?

How are you delivering the desktops VMs from the server to the clients?If you are using to deliver the OS to the client - yes you need a RDS CAL on top of the Windows VDA license. So no 3rd party services and not using any of the RDS services on the main server.In this scenario is an RDS CAL required? They are currently buying qty-10 VDI subscriptions and qty-10 RDS CAL's but they are not using the RDS CAL's and have been told there is no reason to buy them. Server has 10 Windows 7 Pro VM's running on the server and they use thin-client via RDP connection straight to the VM desktop and it works great.

Customer is using a Server 2012 R2 w/Hyper-V role and web services role installed.

Didn't there used to be a different license for this (something you added to SA?) Lota different versions of this over the years.
