DISCLAIMER
1. Do not take my word on the following slides
2. You should talk to your MS licensing expert
3. I am not a rocket scientist and the Microsoft licensing tomes weigh more than I do (not including the exceptions and special cases)
4. My head hurts

Four key things to understand about VDA
1. Microsoft licenses Windows for virtual desktops by access device
2. You must own the license
3. Extended roaming rights
4. If you are using a public cloud, you must ensure dedicated hardware for anything running an instance of Microsoft software
