Can Device or Machine Licenses be Assigned to VMWare VDI Instances?

Hi everyone,

So I'm aware that device licenses can't be assigned to Terminal Server, or other multi-user machines but can they be assigned to individual virtual desktops, given they have individual MAC addresses and are effectively single-user? I've tried at one customer site but have had not had success. Still, that could be a network issues (there are a number of network and cross-domain complexities to consider.)

Hi Ben,

I believe this would work as long as the virtual machines do not have silent virtual hardware changes that affect their hardware fingerprint

Hi Chase,

It's good to know that it *should* work but I've been able to get this to work on the customer's site. There might be issues in the domain rules, so I'll spend some more time on it. Thanks!

Hi Ben,

This is expected behavior at this time because the login dialog uses a one-time browser, similar to a browser running in incognito mode. I have filed a feature request with the team to consider your use case.
