Microsoft E3
1 TopicMicrosoft E3 and Windows 10/11 E3 CSP Licenses and VDA Rights
Does a user licensed with a Microsoft E3 or Windows 10/11 E3 licensed through CSP, have VDA Rights for an onprem VDI server? My understanding is that this was recently changed to allow these rights through a CSP Agreement, whereas before it was only allowed through an EA or MPSA agreement. Here is the documentation I have found on this that I am hoping you can verify. I’ve attached the presentation from Microsoft that announced this change. Please go to slide 21 where you can see that you can run Windows hosted desktops on a server through the CSP model. I have attached the Licensing Brief for licensing for Virtual Desktops. If you look at Page 8, you will find the Summary Table, that shows that with a Microsoft E3, you have the ability to run the Microsoft E3 (or Windows E3) on an on-prem server. Thank you!
