New Microsoft Licensing Announcement makes it easier for VDI

Microsoft is providing a per-user licensing model to Microsoft volume-licensing users starting December 1. In the words of one of our EUC Specialists - “Effectively this means that customers can now purchase a single license for a user that covers their access to a VDI session. This contrasts the previous model (VDA, CSL, etc) where the licensing for a user that wanted to use VDI was complicated. You had to know what devices they would be connecting from, whether that device was covered under SA or not and dig deep into the customers agreement with Microsoft to determine if they were covered. Now a customer just purchases a USL for each user that is going to use VDI and that covers them from any device. It will definitely be simpler and should end up being simpler as well.” Read More here.. DEC2014ECP
