Use of SPLA licensing with Azure RemoteApp

We are an ISV looking to deploy some of our applications using RemoteApp. Many of our applications interact with Excel and we were wondering if we could use SPLA licensing with RemoteApp instead of requiring our users to use Office 365 subscriptions.
Let me know what our options are.

Hi Greg,
Yes, you can license Office to your Azure RemoteApp users via SPLA, subject to the terms of your Service Provider License Agreement and the Service Provider Use Rights (SPUR) document. Azure is considered a Data Center Provider, and Office Professional
Plus 2013 and Office Standard 2013 both have "Eligible for Software Services on Data Center Providers’ Servers:
Yes".
Please download and read the Universal License Terms, SAL General License Terms Desktop Applications section, and product-specific (Office Pro/Standard) license terms section(s) in the SPUR for specific details, as well as your Service Provider
License Agreement.

Using Windows CS5 license with Mac

Hello all,
I recently bought Adobe CS5 Design Premium as a download for my Windows desktop. However, I need to install it on my Macbook so that I can have it "in the field" ... I do a lot of web development, and I need to be able to do it on the go. I figured I could buy the Windows version, install it on the desktop, download the Mac trial, and activate both with the same serial. I even asked Adobe if I could do exactly that, and they said yes as long as they were both mine. When I tried it, the Mac would not accept the serial. Now Adobe Support is saying I need to buy another copy if I want to use it like that. Figures.
So I assume I just need a new serial for the Mac version as well. Yes, I could use a text editor, download GIMP, buy Coda, or use CrossOver/VMWare/BootCamp, but quite frankly I shouldn't have to and don't want to. CrossOver and VMWare cost money, and BootCamp doesn't give me enough battery life. Honestly I shouldn't have to pay another $2000 for the privilege of using, with slightly more functionality (actually it would be the functionality they advertised, and I wouldn't have bought it had they just said I could not do this ... but I digress), what I've already paid an exorbitant amount of money to have. I will refer to this xkcd comic: http://xkcd.com/488/
But anyways, does anyone know where and/or how I could get a Mac serial to complement my Windows version? They are both my computers. A full-fledged download link would be nice, too, so that I don't have to mess with the trial version stuff.
Thanks in advance,
roadkill

Adobe sells plaform specific licenses. I'm sorry you got incorrect info from whomever you talked to but if you want to use that Windows license on your MacBook I suggest visiting Newegg.com and buying an OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium for about $99.
Install it using Boot Camp and then you can install and activate your CS5 Windows version there.

How to use a MATLAB license with password peotection?

I am using a MATLAB network license, which is password protected, so when I use a MATLAB script node LabVIEW can't load the proper MATLAB license and fails.
How can I submit the username+password info to LabVIEW?

Hello malosh,
Unfortunately the functionality is not in place for LabVIEW to pass your username and password into MATLAB for you. Is it possible to log into MATLAB and then run your LabVIEW application?
If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please reply with comments or answers to the discussion above and any additional information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!

What is the difference between Azure RemoteApp Basic vs Standard Plans in terms of compute cores and memory?

So our customer has asked us to compare compare Amazon Workspace and Azure RemoteApp offerings for them to choose from. While looking at Amazon Workspace, it clealy defines bundles with specific CPU cores, memory and user storage. However, Azure RemoteApp
only specifies user storage and vaguely compares its basic vs. standard plans in terms of "task worker" vs. "information worker"
I tried looking up its documentation but couldn't find specific CPU cores that are dedicated per user in basic vs. standard plans. I have following questions:
Can anyone point me in the right direction or help understand how many CPU cores and memory are dedicated (or shared) per user in each plan?
Our customer would most likely need a "custom" image for their custom apps. Is it possible for us to choose specific CPU cores and memory for the users to be able to run their apps in azure remoteapp?
In case i am misunderstanding the basic difference between AWS workspace and Azure RemoteApp, i'd appreciate some help in understanding it as well.
Thanks!

Hi,
With Azure RemoteApp users see just the applications themselves, and the applications appear to be running on their local machine similar to other programs. With Workspaces users connect to a full desktop and launch applications within that.
1. Azure RemoteApp currently uses size A3 Virtual Machines, which have 4 vCPUs and 7GB RAM. Under Basic each VM can have a maximum of 16 users using it whereas under Standard each VM is limited to 10 users. The amount of CPU available
to a user depends on what the current demands are on the CPU at that moment from other users and system processes that may be on the server.
For example, say a user is logged on to a VM with 3 other users and the other users are idle (not consuming any CPU). At that moment the user could use all 4 vCPUs if a program they are running needed to. If a few moments later
the other 3 users all needed lots of CPU as well, then the first user would only have approximately 1 vCPU for their use. The process is dynamic and seeks to give each user their fair share of available CPU when there are multiple users demanding CPU.
Under the Standard plan a user will receive approximately a minimum of .4 vCPU assuming that the VM has the maximum number of users logged on and that all users are using as much CPU as possible at a given moment. Under the Basic plan the approximate
minimum would be .25 vCPU.
2. You cannot choose the specific number of cores and memory. What you can do is choose the Azure RemoteApp billing plan, which affects the user density of each VM as described above. If you need a lower density than Standard you
may contact support.

Azure RemoteApp Profile Storage

I've been a terminal services/remoteapp guy for years (started way back with NT 4.0 TS Edition and Citrix Metaframe 1.8).   I'm liking the idea of Azure RemoteApp, but there are MANY things about using remoteapp that I don't quite see here.
1. Profile storage.   How can I create a roaming profile or use Folder Redirection or something similar for an Azure RemoteApp collection?
2. Admin rights.   How can I get administrative rights to my RemoteApp servers so I can troubleshoot applications such that I can give users rights to what they need to run the apps?
3. How do I update the template without going through the whole upload process again?
I think there is serious potential with Azure RemoteApp, but until these things are worked out, I don't see how it's going to be a production-ready system.   Ideas?

Hi,
In regards to your questions;
1. You cannot do roaming profiles or folder redirection in Azure RemoteApp. Azure RemoteApp uses User Profile Disk (UPD) to store persistent user data in a single vhdx file that is mounted under C:\Users\<username> at logon. This is similar to User
Profile Disks in an on premises RDS or VDI solution.
2. That depends. If you are using a Cloud Deployment, provisioned RDSH servers end up in a workgroup fully controlled by Azure. You cannot get admin privileges on those RDSH servers. If you are using the Hybrid Deployment, provisioned RDSH servers end up
as member servers of your on premises domain, meaning you are fully in control also allowing you to configure things like GPO, login scripts etc. and obviously in this case you are admin.
3. Agree on this, however, currently that functionality is currently not there. This is a feature that has been asked for a lot and hopefully we'll see this being added in a future release.
Also, there is a Azure RemoteApp feedback page which allows you to provide new ideas or vote for excising ones. This feedback page is actively monitored by the product team, so I would advise you to take look and participate to help improve Azure RemoteApp.

Can I build Azure RemoteApp template without Remote Desktop License ?

Can I build Azure RemoteApp template without Remote Desktop License ?
I want to build and update the Azure RemoteApp template by using same Hyper-V guest image continue.
Message:
"Remote Desktop licensing mode is not configured"
Environment 1: my on-premises Hyper-V guest.
Environment 2: my Azure Virtual Machine by "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" image.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro,
If you are referring to RDS CAL, the answer is yes, you can build a template
without having an RDS CAL. For on-premises you would still need rights to install Windows Server as a guest, but to build the template you do not need an RDS CAL because this use is for administrative purposes.
In the case of building the image on an Azure Virtual Machine you do not need Windows Server license since that is included in the pricing for the Virtual Machine. As mentioned above you do not need an RDS CAL since you are only building a template
image which is administrative use.
As always please review the appropriate documents that apply to your situation such as the Online Service Terms (OST), Product Use Rights (PUR), license agreement(s), etc. for precise details.
Thanks.

VM built with trial software - licensing on Azure?

Hello
Let's say I download Windows Server 2012 trial, then build and test until I am satisfied, create a VHD and upload to Azure.
Apparently the Server license and CALs are included with the Azure subscription? But this installation of Windows wants a full license key right? It doesn't know it's running on Azure. I wouldn't want this to expire in 180 days. How do I do that?

hi sir,
If you always want to use your custom OS on Azure, you may need have a license key.
Another way You can install the software on Azure VM and capture the OS on Azure as an Image.
Also, you could see this document about licensing :
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/licensing-faq/
By the way, for this issue, you could post on Azure VM for more helps.

Error while Authenticating sharepoint site with Azure AD users using Azure Access Control Namespace

I have a Sharepoint site running on Azure virtual Machine. Now i want to authenticate my sharepoint site with Azure AD users.

I want 100,000 external users to have access to my SharePoint online Site collection.
I was thinking of going the Azure AD route, where external users will have there ID's created in Azure AD cloud.
Trying to figure how I can integrate Azure AD cloud with my SharePoint Online Site collection.
Currently my site collection is tied to On-premise AD.
Is there a way to integrate the SharePoint online to use both Azure AD and On-premise AD?
Thanks

There is no solution other than having the device cleared by the former owner. If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Can I use my Flex Builder 3 Pro license with the Flash Builder 4 Install?

I have a Flex Builder 3 Pro license, which does all right for me (I have no business need to pay for the upgrade).
The problem is that I can no longer find a downloadable version of the Eclipse plug-in for FB3 anywhere on Adobe's site.
Does anyone know what my options are?
Is there a direct URL to a site where I can download FB3?
Or can I install FB4 and use my FB3 license?
Help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing that out.
You can find most of the old and new FB installers here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flex/downloads_updaters.html
As you probably noticed though, only the FB3 Update installers are posted there, and not the full installers. I checked around, and that was probably an accidental side-effect of changing the Trial Download link from FB3 to FB4 on that page.
We put the gears in motion for getting the full FB3 installers posted there too.
-Chris
P.S. Your FB3 license won't work with FB4, but can be used to upgrade at a discount when the time comes that you're ready for that.

Can I use fixed global IP Address for Azure RemoteApp ?

Can I use fixed global IP Address on Azure RemoteApp ?
I want to use fixed global IP Address for security reason on Azure RemoteApp.
Some servers are filtering recieved ip addresses for security reason.
I need to use fixed ip address of my Application to connecting these servers.
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro,
Currently there is no capability to specify that a fixed public IP be used for Azure RemoteApp. From experience I can tell you that the public ip for each app collection stays the same until you Update the template. This makes sense since when
you perform an update (regardless of if the template vhd has actually changed) the collection is provisioned again.
Please note there is no official statement from Microsoft that the global IP address used for a collection will remain the same in between updates.
I recommend you suggest this on the
Azure RemoteApp feedback forum. I would like to have this feature as well.
Thanks.

Azure RemoteApp - Using Microsoft Accounts

I've added users to a cloud collection, but I can't access the apps that were published due to the following outcome. My hands are somewhat tied when it comes to the e-mails being used.
Both users show a green icon indicating they were found. However, both users have personal and work accounts. The accounts in question that are used with azure are personal accounts. When I log in using the work account, only office 365
and paint items show up.
When I log using the personal accounts I get the following error:
This doesn't look like a valid user ID. Make sure you typed the user ID assigned to you by your organization. It usually looks like [email protected] or [email protected]

I am running remoteapps. How do i connect the applications to retrieve databse from aa Azure virtual machine?
Please help!

Hi,
To allow applications, that you publish through Azure Remote App, to be able to connect to backend servers running in Azure IaaS, the Azure RemoteApp vnet and the Azure IaaS vnet need to be connected. The following guide might be helpful here:
