Manage Windows VDA licensing

Managing Windows VDA licensing includes the following tasks:

Note

The instructions below only apply if the purchased Windows license entitles to Software Assurance.

To verify upgrade rights:

  1. Navigate to the Windows license.

  2. On the Maintenance and support tab, verify the Upgrade rights option:

    • Upgrade rights = Yes

To enable upgrade rights if Upgrade rights = No:
