Hi,
I've been asked to pose a question about the limitations of View licensing by our desktop team and what they are allowed to run. Currently we have the following licences:
vCenter Server | vCenter Server 6 Standard for Horizon |
View Connection Server | Horizon 6 View Standard |
ESXi Hosts | vSphere 6 for Desktop |
They run a Horizon View environment with VDI desktops running Windows 7 on a cluster of ESXi blades.
They would like to add a new ESXi cluster on which to run Windows 7 VMs that are not part of Horizon View / VDI, under the same vCenter instance. The purpose of these VMs is to test packaging apps for SCCM.
My understanding is that this is not permitted and they would require a separate vCenter instance to manage this ESXi cluster and VMs. We have spare Enterprise Plus licences, which could be assigned to the new ESXi cluster, but I suspect that it would still not be permitted to run under the "vCenter Server 6 Standard for Horizon" vCenter instance.
Can anyone clarify on the issue? I've been unable to find the official wording from VMware on what is/isn't permitted.
Thank you.
