Most office workers today use Windows-based computers for their jobs, whether those are desktop computers at a work location, laptops (which can be used in the office, at home or on the road), or remote/virtual desktops (either VDI or RDSH) where the user’s Windows desktop runs as a virtual machine in a datacenter somewhere (either on premises or in the cloud).

Software is installed by request from the same automated deployments that are used for classrooms and centrally managed staff and faculty workstations. Users cannot install software there, and they are frequently reset since they are clones of master workstations. These virtual VDI workstations are not personal or persistent. Unused sessions will be automatically closed after 24 hours. The computer is reserved but concurrent license freed. FAQ If I close the VMware window instead of logging out, does it free the VDI computer?
