License for VMWare Horizon 8

[LeHongTung]

Hi all,

I just checked on VMware's homepage about our license. Result as below:

Product	License	Total Quantity	Note
App Volumes Enterprise 4.0 and User Environment Manager per Concurrent User	1	100 CCu
Horizon 8 Enterprise per Concurrent User 1-year term license	1	100 CCu
ThinApp Client (Subscription)	1	100 CCu
ThinApp Packager (Subscription)	1	5 Instance
VMware vSAN 8 Advanced per Concurrent User term license	1	100 CCu
Workstation 17 Pro Tern License	1	5 Instance
vCenter Server 8 Standard for Horizon Tern License	1	5 Instance
vSphere 8 Enterprise Plus for Desktop Stand Alone term license	1	100 VM

I'm confused whether the products are part of a license or they are separate Licenses? What is the meaning of these Product licenses?

Did someone explain for?

Thanks

As far as I can tell these are component licenses for your Horizon 8 Enterprise 100 Concurrent User license. The Horizon license you purchase is a bundle consisting of these components. So if you renew your Horizon 8 Enterprise 100 Concurrent User license-bundle all these sub-licenses will also renew.

The VMware Horizon Packaging and Licensing whitepaper can tell you all the options you have and the rights coming with your specific license.

But these sub-licenses basically allow you to input the correct key for your license bundle when you install the product. E.g. ESXi has a license key, vCenter has a license key, Horizon Connection servers have a license key and so on. There is no 1 universal license key for all the components.
