DISCLAIMER
1.
Do not take my word on the following slides
2.
You should talk to your MS licensing expert
3.
I am not a rocket scientist and the Microsoft licensing tomes
weigh more than I do (not including the exceptions and special
cases)
4.

Four key things to understand about VDA
1.
Microsoft licenses Windows for
virtual desktops by access device
2.
You must own the license
3.
Extended roaming rights
4.
If you are using a public cloud, you must ensure dedicated
hardware for anything running an instance of Microsoft
