Flexible Licensing
Key points of
Windows 8
flexible licensing
Scenario: work from home or on the road
Flexibility for how employees access their corporate desktop while outside the office
Corporate VDI OR
Windows To Go Access
Through enhancements in Roaming Rights with the inclusion of Windows To Go, employees can
now work at home or on the road by accessing their full corporate desktop in a new way
Scenario: Corporate issued PC (primary) + Tablet (companion)
Access VDI from a corporate owned Windows RT companion device for free
VDA Rights
Free
Employees whose primary device is licensed with SA for Windows, receive extended virtualization
rights at no cost allowing them to access a Windows VDI running in the data center from
corporate owned Windows RT devices
Scenario: Bring Your Own Companion Devices
Access your corporate desktop from a personally owned companion device at work
Windows Companion
Subscription License (CSL)
add-on for four devices
The Windows CSL provides employees whose primary device is licensed with SA the rights to access a
corporate desktop either through a VDI or WTG on up to four personally owned devices.
The CSL covers multiple devices making it a simpler and more cost effective option as opposed to
separately licensing each device for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios.
