Licensing question

$
0
0

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.

 

Bryan
