Windows 10 for testing purposes

A customer need to create some Windows 10 VMs in Azure in order to perform some tests.

They have no Windows 10 license with multi-tenant hosting neither a Visual Studio subscription.

They only need to create some VMs, perform the tests they need and pay for the VMs including the use of licenses.

How can they do?

    Hi Marius_Roma.

     

    Do they have any office 365?
    Client OS licenses have never been available as part of the VMs price in Azure only Server licenses.

    Solution 1:
    Get a dev/test subscription and run there Windows 10 VMs on Azure.

    Solution 2:
    Run Azure Virtual Desktop with Per user access pricing for external users

    In azure calculator can help you estimate more accurate cost: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/



    Hope it helped.
