Indicates that Windows 10 Enterprise is simply вЂњIncludedвЂќ (not even вЂњpartially includedвЂќ) in Microsoft 365.

#MICROSOFT 365 E3 LICENSE#

So we agree that Windows 10 can be legally installed on VMs on a вЂњone license per one instanceвЂќ basis outside of having a VLA.Д«ut as others have pointed out, information at this link: Thanks for pulling that out of the retail EULA. servers are supposed to be complicated? WeвЂ™re always looking for ways to preserve the value of your certification, after all!вЂќ

вЂњYes! It includes a license for terminal servers! No! We wonвЂ™t let you activate it! Ok, now we will, but you have to jump through all these extra hoops in the install process. I have a feeling like this is in the same screwed up place that the O365 license were at regarding whether they could or could not be activated on terminal server setups.

where is there ANY SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION about the Windows licensing for M365 (not VLA) that says what it can and cannot be installed on and whether it is OR IS NOT a full license or an вЂњupgrade? Neither I nor any technical nor partner support rep I have worked with thus far has been able to find it. Or what am I missing? Are you suggesting that the business Parallels built on being able to have Windows as a VM on a Mac is completely ILLEGAL? If so, why hasnвЂ™t Microsoft so much as issued a cease and desist to them with regards to how they promote their product? Interested to know where in the EULA for any retail version of Windows 10 (excepting OEM which is explicitly intended for new hardware) does it say вЂњThou shalt not install to any hypervisor.вЂќ None of my SMB customers with a need to run a couple of Windows apps on a Mac is gonna go for a 5 license minimum VLA just to license one desktop - nor do they have a practical need to. Nothing in the doc says that VLA is the ONLY valid way of licensing the OS for VMs, just what licenses are needed for what types of VM environments. Your link is a VLA doc which does not apply as there is no VLA, SA or Open or otherwise at play in my use case. but only if you already HAVE a Windows license, HA HA!вЂќ Hey, now we are including Windows 10 licenses in a monthly subscription format like we do for Office!. weвЂ™ll let you activate with a Windows 7 license, but only if you perform a clean install. you only want it now that itвЂ™s stable? Only if you have a вЂњdisability.вЂќ actually screw you, even if you ARE disabled! Ok. вЂњHey! Windows 10 is a free upgrade, too! In fact, we will give it to you whether you want it OR NOT! Oh. They are positively schizophrenic when it comes to licensing ever since Apple started pumping out free OS upgrades. So, one-time retail purchase is still an option, but an annoyance when it seems (seemed) like M$ was further along in their licensing flexibility than they actually (or practically) are.

But, no, activation is a catch 22 - you canвЂ™t activate Windows in M365 unless you already HAVE an activated copy of Windows. Yet Microsoft 365 is supposed to now INCLUDE Windows 10 - ok, customer already has O365 E3, so my thought is to change one user to M365 and get the Windows license needed for this Mac to run a single Windows only app (Publisher, which has no Mac version). In the past, one just purchases a retail copy of Windows. IвЂ™m installing a single instance of windows on a Mac using (in this case) VMWare Fusion Pro. IвЂ™m not talking about an enterprise environment and IвЂ™m not talking about a hosting setup. and get into the weeds I was trying to stay out of with my general question. Hey, I appreciate that you are trying very much to be helpful here, but I think we need to clarify scale more than physical/virtual.
