A company is deploying a Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for hosting Windows 7 client
computers on a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. Each device connecting to the
VDI needs a license for compliance. The company acquires Windows Server 2008 R2 client access
licenses (CALs) for all users. The company does not use Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V).
You need to specify the license types required for the devices that connect to the VDI. Which three
license types you should specify? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose three.)
A.
Windows Virtual Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD)
B.
RDS Client Access License (CAL)
C.
Windows 7 Client Access License (CAL)
D.
Microsoft VDI Standard Suite license
E.
Microsoft VDI Premium Suite license
F.
Windows Virtual Desktop Access (VDA)
Explanation:
Microsoft’s VECD a mandatory license for virtualization VECD stands for “Virtual Enterprise
Centralized Desktop.” It’s the license that Microsoft requires to use its desktop virtualization. VECD
must be purchased in addition to the base Windows operating system license. So if you want to
virtualize Windows, you have to buy this VECD license as a second license. If you don’t like it –too
bad. Don’t use Windows then. (Ah, the joys of a monopoly.)

are not eligible for Software Assurance and therefore will nothave Windows Virtual Desktop Access
Rights. You can license such devices with a Windows VDA subscription license.

The VDI Standard Suite is a collection of technology to help organizations deploy the basic
infrastructure for VDI. Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 is the virtualization platform for hosting your servers
and desktops. Management of your virtual infrastructure is taken care of the various system center
components, including System Center Virtual Machine Manager, System Center Operations Manager
2007 R2 and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2. Applications can be delivered
dynamically via App-V, since MDOP is also included in the VDI standard suite.
The standard suite also enables restricted use rights for Remote Desktop Services, to deliver VDI
desktops to users.
