Microsoft Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 Virtual Desktop Access (VDA), Annual

Windows Enterprise E3 in CSP delivers, by subscription, exclusive features reserved for Windows Enterprise editions. This offering is available through the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) channel via the Partner Center as an online service. Windows Enterprise E3 in CSP provides a flexible, per-user subscription for small and medium-sized organizations (from one to hundreds of users). To take advantage of this offering, the following prerequisites must be met:

• A currently supported version of Windows, installed and activated, on the devices to be upgraded.
• Microsoft Entra available for identity management.

Moving from Windows Pro to Windows Enterprise is more easy than ever before with no keys and no reboots. After a user enters the Microsoft Entra credentials associated with a Windows Enterprise E3 license, the operating system turns from Windows Pro to Windows Enterprise, and all the appropriate Enterprise features are unlocked. When a subscription license expires or is transferred to another user, the Enterprise device seamlessly steps back down to Windows Pro.

Previously, only organizations with a Microsoft Volume Licensing Agreement could deploy Windows Enterprise to their users. Now, with Windows Enterprise E3 in CSP, small- and medium-sized organizations can more easily take advantage of Enterprise edition features.

When Windows Enterprise E3 is purchased via a partner, the following benefits are included:

• Windows Enterprise edition. Devices currently running Windows Pro can get Windows Enterprise Current Branch (CB) or Current Branch for Business (CBB). This benefit doesn't include Long Term Service Branch (LTSB).
• Support from one to hundreds of users. Although the Windows Enterprise E3 in CSP program doesn't have a limitation on the number of licenses an organization can have, the program is designed for small- and medium-sized organizations.
• Deploy on up to five devices. For each user covered by the license, Windows Enterprise edition can be deployed on up to five devices.
• Roll back to Windows Pro at any time. When a user's subscription expires or is transferred to another user, the Windows Enterprise device reverts seamlessly to Windows Pro edition (after a grace period of up to 90 days).
• Monthly, per-user pricing model. This model makes Windows Enterprise E3 affordable for organizations.
• Move licenses between users. Licenses can be quickly and easily reallocated from one user to another user, allowing optimization of the licensing investment against changing needs.
