Product A-Z. The difference is in usage and licensing. And as Gary said, using them as VDI can be and is likely to be very expensive in comparison, I’m all for saving money, but you don’t seem to be saving anything here – you said 2 licenses of Windows 10 instead of 4, so I assume you have 4 of this makeshift thin clients, if this is true using Windows 10 as the RDP session will limit you to use only 2 of the clients at one time anyway, so I’ll go back to what I said earlier TS or RDS. The changes to Windows 10 Mobile are mainly in additional features to support IT organisations with various compliance issues.
 
 

Windows 10 iot enterprise license cost free. Is Windows 10 IoT enterprise free?

When you develop IoT devices or solutions with Windows IoT operating systems, you need to work with a Microsoft authorized distributor like Bsquare. You can speak directly with a Windows IoT licensing expert or start with these frequently asked questions about licensing. Is there a cost to join the Windows IoT program? Joining the Windows IoT program is free. What agreements are needed to purchase and distribute Windows IoT and embedded licenses with my products? This non-negotiable agreement is set up via DocuSign.

There are no obligations to purchase with the establishment of the agreement. See an infographic about license procurement with Bsquare. The software inside is the same. Apart from central management, can you explain why you cant just put windows 10 on the Atom devices and lock them down, you wont be saving any money by using Windows 10 virtually and you will still need 4 licenses if you have 4 devices connecting. TBH I only skimmed the majority of the posts in the thread, so I might be repeating what has already been said.

While I won’t comment on the merit of this setup, for the question of atom processors for a free OS that does RDP you will probably want to look at a linux based OS. There are several out there that are pretty good, Mint comes mind. Heck you could even use a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian would work. I’ve also used thinstation on a half of dozen projects. Thinstation makes a pretty tight OS that will boot from a MB flash drive.

But you do have to know a bit more about linux than just using the UI. On one of the projects use used Thinstation running on a single core intel nuc. As a test we ran windows 7 on this box. It was almost usable, but not really. If you go the linux route, for RDP you have two choices freerdp or rdesktop. There are other front ends for these applications, but under the hood you will use one of these two.

As for licensing which was mentioned above. That is where you will run into some costs. This is all fine and good. IT Professionals of Florida, Inc. If I recall, you need special licensing only provided by Software Assurance in order to run a Windows 10 desktop OS as a virtual machine on a server. Forget about the Windows 10 VM’s completely.

I think you’ll find this is a much more common and accepted approach and it would be supported by MS in an audit scenario. As for your thin clients, use whatever you need. You’re just using them as a dumb pass-through terminal. There are several options that will do what you want. You’re vastly overcomplicating your life here. Just install Win 10 on the terminals and be done with it. Anything else in this setup is simply introducing more individual points of failure, esp.

This servicing model is ideal for pilot deployments and testing of Windows 10 feature updates and for users such as developers who need to work with the latest features immediately. Once the latest release has gone through pilot deployment and testing, you will be able to choose the timing at which it goes into broad deployment.

Please review General Availability Channel for more information. Specialized systems, such as PCs that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs, often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose. With this in mind, quality updates are still immediately available to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC clients, but customers can choose to defer them by using a servicing tool.

Please review Long-term Servicing Channel for more information. Please note that due to the long life of the LTSC releases and the benefit of remaining on a specific release for 10 years, an upgrade fee will be charged for customers moving from one LTSC release to another.

Now Microsoft has adapted their fit-to-purpose operating systems for industrial embedded systems by embracing the Internet of Things movement, releasing the Windows 10 IoT range of licensing options. All Windows 10 IoT products are based on the new Windows 10 kernel and all versions from IoT Enterprise down to the IoT core version run the same Universal Apps and Universal driver model; therefore, it is possible to run the same application from industrial devices, mobile phones, tablets and desktop devices.

Designed for embedded applications where clients want complete control of the OS. Specifically designed for mobile, tablets and handhelds under 8 inches, Mobile Enterprise has less applications and appeal in the industrial embedded space, other than for some industrial handhelds.

The changes to Windows 10 Mobile are mainly in additional features to support IT organisations with various compliance issues.
