[THIN] Re: XenDesktop Licensing/Activation?

Not sure about Vista… You should have a KMS server for that.. As for XP, you need use VL keys.

Subject: [THIN] XenDesktop Licensing/Activation?

 

We’re setting up an internal pilot of XenDesktop (XD) streaming the OS via Citrix Provisioning server (PVS). We’re running into some show stoppers with Windows activation and licensing. Essentially when you stream the OS it needs to be re-activated on every new/unique desktop which really doesn’t work. We’ve been digging into the various Microsoft volume licensing/MAK (multiple activation key) programs but we haven’t found any combination that works yet. If anyone else has run into this/has any suggestions for either Vista or XP your input would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Chris
