General Licensing Principles for VDI

License the client for Windows and OfficeLicense for server accessLicense for any required management technologies

Windows VDARequired 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
