Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop - subscription license

Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD) provides licensing for Windows Vista Enterprise virtual machines (VMs) running on servers on top of PCs running Windows. This enables enterprises to combine PC productivity and local execution with the advantages of centralized deployment.

MICROSOFT OPEN VALUE SUBSCRIPTION OPTION

With the Subscription option, you pay a single price per desktop (five desktop minimum) to deploy Microsoft technology as the standard across your organization, just as with the Company-wide option. However, the Subscription option provides you with rights to run the software only during the term of the agreement with Microsoft (nonperpetual).
