I have a VMView 5.1 setup with 50 Licenses for VDI desktops. I have not yet had any training on the product - that comes next month.
Can I provision more linked clones than I'm licensed for provided they are not in use by a customer?
Example;
50 total online VDI Linked Clones with Persistent Disks, created after the June Windows Patch Tuesday.
July patch cycle comes around, and I need to recompose the clones. Some are in use when I recompikle them in the afternoon. The next mornign I come in and delete the June Linked Clones. In theory I would have 100 VDI systems online at one time before I could delete the "old Linked Clones". Can I do this provided I do not go over the maximum number of licenses with in use systems?
I noticed in the Product Licensing and usage page the system tracks Current and highest usage. Is this how VMWare 5.1 tracks the license.
Thanks in advance.
