It is also worth noting that this license applies to all the individual components within Horizon View Standard. This VMware Horizon View licensing model is a good fit in organizations where multiple users share devices, because doing so results in a lower overall cost than licensing each user individually.Īlthough VMware normally leaves the choice of licensing model up to its customers, they can only license Horizon View Standard through a concurrent connection license. Rather than licensing individual users to use virtual desktops as is done in the per named user model, the license applies instead to the device the user works with to connect to his virtual desktop. This model is essentially a per device licensing model. The other Horizon View licensing model VMware commonly offers is the per concurrent connection model. This Horizon View licensing model is a per user licensing model.

The per named user licensing model is for organizations with users who require dedicated virtual machine access. VMware offers two different Horizon View licensing models for most of its Horizon products.
