Hi,<\/p>\n
We are looking to license a Windows 10 Pro VM that is hosted on a Server. There will be one user who accesses this through the following method:<\/p>\n
Connects to our Remote Desktop Server → Opens a remote session to the local VM we host on a separate server → Logs on to this via RDC<\/p>\n
We were thinking of using Windows 10 Pro to license this but we want to know if this is correct or if we need a different type of license due to the fact they will be logging on remotely?<\/p>\n
Thanks<\/p>","upvoteCount":3,"answerCount":3,"datePublished":"2020-04-03T06:12:25.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"spiceuser-chk2t","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/spiceuser-chk2t"},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

There is no legal license for Win10 as a VM, unless in a VDI solution (at least 10 or 20 OS licenses, Win10 Enterprise with VDA etc). Not in the scope of 1 or 2 VMs.<\/p>\n
There is also no such thing as Remote Desktop Server, if RDP Server then its Remote Desktop Services for servers. That is also another topic altogether<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2020-04-03T08:03:13.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/windows-10-pro-vm-licensing/757719/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"adrian_ych","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/adrian_ych"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
This how-to is a little older, but I believe it’s still accurate:<\/p>\n
