Are you sure?
I called Microsoft and they did not mention that. Do you mean all our PCs
which run Windows 7 must be SA?
Then we can use Thin Clients with VDA?

It comes with it if Win7 is purchased with SA.

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,
