The pandemic as competently as other things have led to the world before us. Plus, firms are beginning to adopt remote work into their processes. In today’s world, working remotely is now the additional normal But the pandemic has compelled more experts to embrace off-site working. But for sure, by not doing anything, the MS is making it harder for honest partners to sell Microsoft's own solutions.TSplus advanced security – The leading remote desktop software | TSplus partner Access your Apps using TSplus advanced security Anywhere You are > why Microsoft don’t' do any think to stop this business And at the end, it is the end user who will be blamed/punished for license violation. But in real life they simply AVOID stating anything about MS licensing terms and just keep the end user unaware. They should be held responsible for fraud.
If someone is knowingly doing that - then, in my opinion, The nasty part is that they are often marketed as a ALTERNATIVE to MS licensing, what is clearly not true. So those solutions are legal - IF you license them properly buying appropriate MS licenses. Of course, some (or most) of those products offer extra features, not available in "pure MS" - Citrix and VMware beeing notable examples (as they offer MUCH more ) ). For more information on this topic see the Licensing Windows Client Operating Systems Note: Windows Client operating system license terms do not permit multiple users to access or otherwise use one licensed copy of the software simultaneously. That enables multiuser scenarios on Windows Server. This includes (but is not limited to) the use of Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services or other third-party software An RDS CAL is required irrespective of the technology used to directly or indirectly interact with the graphical user interface. "Do I need an RDS CAL if I am using a third-party technology such as Citrix XenApp, Ericom PowerTerm WebConnect, Quest Virtual Access Suite, GraphOn Go-Global to directly or indirectly access the server software to interact with the graphical user interface? Microsoft AND the other party (GraphOn, Citrix, ) - unless you of course go for a Linux desktop VDI ) At the end, the full licensing cost of those alternative solutions is at least as high as cost of "pure MS" solution - cause you have to buy BOTH So, whatever VDI suite or "terminal serverĪlternative" you are using you still have to buy appropriate MS licenses - Server CALs, RDS CALs, VDA or SA etc. The point is, that regardless of the OTHER software used, if you access the virtualized Windows session (as in terminal server solution) or a virtualized desktop (a in VDI) you must comply with MS licensing terms.
