Thanks, I had to call Microsoft to confirm.
As you wrote, only the VDA license is needed, not Windows 7. I guess
Windows 7 comes with it.
Thanks,

As of July 1, VDA is the replacement for VECD.
When doing VDI, you don't have to license the Windows that is installed
in the virtual desktops. Instead, you license the device the user is
connecting from.
If users were connecting from a PC and the PC is covered under Software
Assurance then there's no additional licensing needed for VDI.
For non-SA devices (including thin clients), you will need a VDA license
on each one. It's a yearly subscription license.

Hi all, this is a little OT, but I figured this would be the
best place to ask:
We're looking to virtualize Windows 7 desktop using Panologic
devices. Besides the Windows 7 licenses, would I need a VECD or VDA
license? What's the difference?
Thanks,
