If you are using thin clients or OEM licensed desktops, you need Windows VDA (Windows Virtual Desktop access). Windows VDA is a device-based subscription license and will be available at $100/device/year.</P><P><A href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/enterprise/solutions/virtualization/operating-system/" target="test_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/enterprise/solutions/virtualization/operating-system/</A></P><P></P><P><BR /><BR />Sven Huisman</P><P>VMware vExpert 2009/2010</P><P><A href="http://Virtualfuture.info">Virtualfuture.info </A></P><P><A href="http://www.twitter.com/svenh">Twitter @svenh </A></P><P></P><P><IMG height="75" src="http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/38-20628/vExpert_logo_150x75.jpg" width="150" /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 09 Sep 2010 07:25:03 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Horizon-Desktops-and-Apps/VMware-View-4-and-Desktop-Licensing/m-p/754672#M14575 VirtualSven 2010-09-09T07:25:03Z Re: VMware View 4 and Desktop Licensing https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Horizon-Desktops-and-Apps/VMware-View-4-and-Desktop-Licensing/m-p/754673#M14576 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Ok.
