• Virtual desktop access (VDA) rights will become a Windows Client Software Assurance benefit.
• PCs covered under SA will be able to access their VDI desktops at no additional charge.
• Thin clients that do not qualify for Windows Client SA need to license those devices with a new license called Windows Virtual Desktop Access (Windows VDA) to be able to access a Windows VDI desktop.
• Windows VDA is also applicable to third party devices, such as contractor.
• The primary user of a Windows VDA device has extended roaming rights, which means that he/she can access their VDI desktop from any device outside of the corporate environment, such as a home PC or an internet kiosk.
