User Licensing

How does user licensing work with AppVolumes? According to the FAQ it is licensed per concurrent user, but that is not what I see when I use it. As soon as a user logs in, it seems that one of the user licenses is instantly used but is not returned when they log off.

If this is the expected behavior, how do I deal with users who no longer exists (i.e. expired contracts or employees who leave). Do they continue to consume my licenses?

Have you purchased App Volumes as a Standalone SKU or Horizon Enterprise?

If part of Horizon, please check this document: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/horizon/VMware-Horizon-FAQ.pdf

Q. How is App Volumes (formerly of Cloud Volumes) licensed in Horizon 6?

App Volumes is licensed with Horizon Enterprise on a per named user or per concurrent connection basis and will map directly to the licensing of the overall bundled offering.

In a concurrent setting, customers need to ensure that they do not exceed the maximum agreed upon active and powered on sessions.
