Help understanding licenses with view windows

Hi all

Virtualnoob here. I'm trying to get a good understanding on how exactly Windows liscensing works with VMware View... I'm in college and we liscensing of volume for xp and windows 7 but I'm curious to know if this is what we use for the VDI... How am I save money if I go this way? I know that microsoft has liscensing special price for virtual desktops (can't find any info anywhere on their site)... Is there a good guide for this? I'll contact my representative of $ M?

Please Note * (this is a piece of data from the cost analysis that I put together for the IOC)

Thank you all

I does not deal much with the licenses but attended many conversations with Microsoft, and now have a pretty good understanding of Microsoft licensing in a VDI using Windows 7 environment.

In short, they will tell you that licensing is based on the access by the device of carbon.  So, you don't register your vdi environment based on how many virtual machines you turn upward or how much you think you will use at the same time, its based on the devices accessing the Windows 7 VM.

So you can have a battery of 1000 Windows 7 virtual desktops running in your VDI environment, if you access to 7 different computers around your campus, you will only need 7 licenses.  If you have the same VM 1000 accessed by 1500 different computers on your campus, you will need 1500 licenses.

Now, there are two types of licenses, VDA and SA.  SA software assurance is.  So if you have SA on all your workstations on campus, everyone can access your VDI.  However, if a person goes home and use their computer at home... you can't get HIS view, you will need to purchase a license VDA (Virtual Desktop Access) for the connection, because it is a piece of defferent from carbon.  It goes same for Wyse thin clients, Iphones and IPADs.  Everyone needs a license of the VDA.

I hope this helps.  I am sure that you have any other questions and it would be better to get the answers from Microsoft.

  • Does resettlement as one of the three licenses with the Windows 7 Family Pack Upgrade?

    I have installed without problem on two computers and you want to install on a third computer in the future after having finished building.

    If I have reinstall it on one of the first two computers will I have troubles installing on the third?

    How to keep track of how many times I've used this upgrade Microsoft?  Is it connected to the key that has the earlier version of Windows?  So I use the same three keys of Windows XP update will work even if I need to reinstall?

    No, because this is the same computer, so it works very well. Unused facilities / additional licenses will not be exhausted.

  • Pavilion 17-g121wm: laptop refurbished with no Windows license key

    Greetings,

    I just got a used Pavilion laptop. It came with 10 windows pre-loaded and is in perfect working condition, but they stripped all the stickers from him, including one with the Windows license key. If I buy the HP recovery media, it will have the license key, and it'll work on my laptop?

    I'm waiting for a reminder of the repairer's customer service to see if I can get a key from them (I just call a few minutes ago). For the price I paid, I'd take a few steps to take care of this (including buying a new copy of Windows, although I'd rather not if I can avoid it).

    I found it! I am so excited. I have installed and run Belarc Advisor, and he showed a ton of information, including my Windows license key. I stuck that in the right place in my settings and here! It showed that my copy of Windows has been activated before I did, but I didn't have the possibility to create recovery discs, that was my main problem. Windows has accepted the key, and now I have the ability to create a recovery disk. I get an error when I do, but I want to install an update, now that I think it will fix. If it isn't, I think it's fodder for another line of inquiry. @erico, thank you very much for all your time. I hope that this post will help someone else who may be faced with the same problem or something similar.

  • Windows XP SP3 with view Client 5.1: unable to connect: discovers the connection connection to the server has failed

    Hi guys,.

    I need help.  I have a problem with my opinion of Client on a Windows XP SP3 computer.  When I click on connect, I get the following message immediately:

    "Failed to connect to the view connection server. Verify that the server connection mode address and network settings are correct. »

    A few details:

    My client's IP address is on the same subnet as the view connection server

    There is no firewall and DNS solves the login server see very well.  Here is the output of my customer's orders

    C:\ > nslookup X.X.X.172

    < resolves very well >

    C:\ > nslookup dd - view.viewdomain.com

    < resolves very well >

    C:\ > nslookup dd-notice

    < resolves very well >

    C:\ > tracert X.X.X.172

    < works great >

    If I open a browser on the XP workstation which is a failure, I can go to https://dd-view.viewdomain.com.  It displays the page that I need to connect with View Client. What do I think, so this should check the connectivity between the two.

    I've seen customer 5.1.0 build-704644 installed on my Windows XP SP3 client computer

    My connection to the server is running 5.1.1 build-799444 and is configured with a pool of offices 25 clone related with SSL active

    LAST IMPORTANT NOTE: I have the same version of the Client view (5.1.0 build-704644) installed on another Windows 7 workstation on the same subnet and it connects to my view connection server office pool very well.

    I tried to install the three versions of the customer view of this system of XP SP3 including the latest version, when the connection after installation, they all fail the same way. My body needs to function. The client machines can not move to something more recent to Windows XP SP3 because I am not the administrator for them.

    Any ideas?  Is this a bug or is Windows XP SP3 just not supported with view 5.1?

    You can resize a picture in WLPG but if you want to change the .dpi you

    Right-click on one or more selected inches... Choose... "Resize" in the menu.
    Choose a format, access a folder to save in the left click the ' resize and

  • I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded. Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?

    * Original title: Windows 10 disappointment

    Recently, I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded.  I gave up 10.  I would like to return to the Windows 7 desktop.  If I buy or buy this software, I guess I have to 'wipe' 10 of my machine?  Or I would just download 7 top?   What I have found online are instructions for people who have updated to 10 and want to revert to an earlier version of windows.  In my case, I never had an earlier version on the machine I have now.  Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?  Online, local dealer?  Thank you.

    If I were you, I call HP and tell them that you do not want this computer with Win10.  They are very likely still sells machines with Win7 for businesses, because most companies do not affect the Win10 with a 10 foot barge pole.

    Dell is selling them for sure.  I've been helping my clients by computers Dell Win7 for a very long time now and just had one on my desk a week ago.  Look at the range of Dell Vostro of computers.

    The trick is to approach Dell as a businessman, and not as a normal consumer.

  • With the help of HP printers in Windows 8

    Windows 8 is the latest operating system produced by Microsoft, Inc.  There are a few differences in the way that you access functions such as printing and scanning from older versions of Windows operating systems.

    Whenever you install a printer in Windows 8, there are a few options to do: complete features in OS driver or driver from Windows Update.  There are similarities between the various drivers, but not everything works the same.

    However, HP has released a document with detailed instructions on the use of HP printers in Windows 8. The document can be found below:
