Et vous y trouverez également une FAQ qui reprend des questions que l’on me pose énormément, comme celles ci :

 

Q. Do I need an RDS CAL if I am using a third-party technology such as Citrix XenApp, Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect, Quest Virtual Access Suite, GraphOn Go-Global to directly or indirectly access the server software to interact with the graphical user interface?

A.

Yes. An RDS CAL is required irrespective of the technology used to directly or indirectly interact with the graphical user interface. This includes (but is not limited to) the use of Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services or other third-party software that enables multiuser scenarios on Windows Server.

Note: Windows Client operating system license terms do not permit multiple users to access or otherwise use one licensed copy of the software simultaneously. For more information on this topic see the Licensing Windows Client Operating Systems in Multiuser Scenarios document at: https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/d/4/3d42bdc2-6725-4b29-b75a-a5b04179958b/windows_multi_user.docx

Q. Do I need an RDS CAL if I am not running a multiuser environment, but use functionality in Remote Desktop Services, for example RD Gateway?

A.

Yes, an RDS CAL is required for the use of any functionality included in the Remote Desktop Services role in Windows Server. For example, if you are using an RD Gateway server and/or RD Web Access to provide access to a Windows-based client computer, both an RDS CAL and a Windows Server CAL are required.

Q. If I currently am licensed under the Microsoft VECD program for my desktop computers, why would I need to purchase the new VDI Suite?

A.

Complete and correct licensing of a Microsoft VDI environment requires licensing of both the Windows client operating system running in a centralized location (VECD), and of the infrastructure and management components that enable an end-to-end VDI environment. The VDI Suites offer a complete value package for an optimum VDI experience.
