MS licenses for display issue

I have a headache from reading this Microsoft 'Windows licenses for virtual offices' guide.

I'll explain my current scenario and hope that one of you nice people can clear this up for me lol

In my office, I have about 300 computers Dell desktop / laptop. They are running Windows XP or Windows 7. The operating systems are installed by using the OEM Dell CD/DVD.  Now, I have installed view 4.5. I have a need to create VMs of Windows XP and Windows 7 VMs. currently, as is obvious, I am not a license for the installation of operating systems on virtual machines. I thought that we can purchase volume of Windows XP and Windows 7 licenses and be done with it. So, I went to my boss and asked him to buy and he hands me this guide and said that we must buy VDA licenses for $100 each.

I just went through this guide and what I came out it was, if we buy 100 thin clients, to buy 100 licenses VDA, for $100 per year!  It's all great and everything, but I still need a license key to install Windows XP and Windows 7, and I don't want the end user to activate windows, so where am I supposed to get these license keys of? We expect use Linked Clones and QuickPrep, if really the parent need virtual machines need to be enabled, I guess

Sorry if it came out stupid, but I've never dealt with before OS license. I've never had to since Dell has always provided a cd/dvd of BONE that could not be activated. I really don't understand this.

Any help would be appreciated.

VDA will give you the keys to Windows that can be activated with the MAK (for some machine) or MKS (this is your case, and you must also deploy a MKS server for this purpose).

Another solution, instead of the VDA license, is to normalize your platform and Add Software Assurance on your client. This gives the right to have for each customer according to ITS a virtual office (without additional VDA license).

I suggest call your Microsoft representative to understand the option two different.

  • Licensing for application developers

    Hi all

    I spent the last week ThinApp assessment in our group of software development, and we like what we see. I spoke with VMWare sales today to see if I could get the answers to some questions, and they referred me to the KB and communities for more detailed answers. After the search of these forums, I arrived at contradictory answers. So, here are the questions, and my current understanding of the answers - if someone can help to clarify, I'd appreciate it!

    Background: we develop software that is deployed to the client 'sites', consisting of a number of users at each site. Some sites use fixed machines for multiple users, others use (or want to use) USB devices to transport their settings autour with them. Thus, from a perspective ThinApp license:

    (1) is there any activation of the Client for ThinApp license? The sales guy I talked to said today that there is, and that every person who wanted to run the ThinApp application'ed would need to enter a license or call key to be activated. Everything I found on these forums seems to indicate that is not true, and that the license for the package manager is the only that is enabled. Which would correspond to my experience with the trial version, where we see the toaster popup that displays the name of the licensed user that was specified in the links Manager.

    (2) do need to activation, how to manage these licenses Client licenses? Can I see the information of the user/machine/usb which are associated with each activation and adjust them if the user/machine/device is more currently in use?

    (3) the client licenses never expire, making the ThinApp executable' unusable ed? My research seems to indicate (and sales indicate so) that the answer is no.

    Already, we follow and enforce the number of authorized users at our request, I don't need law enforcement. I hope that I can simply buy a number of customer ThinApp licenses based on the number of users who are permitted to use our software, then ThinApp packages to my heart's content, possibly to provide a single application for each customer site. The EULA seems to support this, but I am still confused the issues above.

    Thank you!

    -Brandon

    Real answers to your questions

    1. we do NOT ask by the registration of the customer. Only time ask us the license key is in Packager ('Capture' Setup).

    2 see above

    3. While time packages ever built with a valid license (not a time limited trial) in the Setup Capture will key bomb.

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

  • I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    Windows has no

    I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

    You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.
