Windows 10 Workstation Licensing costs on VMWARE

[edscdk]

We have dev / test / Preprod / and production environments,

We pay (with software assurance) £450ish per windows 10 license is this normal? - that was the past purchase for our non prod environment (13 units @ 450 each),

we only need the cheapest version of windows 10 that can join a domain and is correctly licensed for vmware / enterprise..

does this seem right ?

You can buy a Windows 10 Pro licence online for £10 to £20. You are being ripped off!

not as an enterprise, we must be correctly licensed c

What is your actual licensing setup? I assume you have an IT provider with some kind of volume licensing and whatever service assurance you touched on.

The legal side of licensing Windows in a business can be complicated never mind if using a provider rip off or not, then the actual support side and whatever the cost covers there.

they are machines used by our support staff not by customers.. they sit on out own infra, I'm seeing people purchase these licenses @ £450 for the bit of paper with a number on just seems steep

Is this VM/VDI/VDA/SA subscription? where you are actually paying £450 per year (per device/user) and get 5 or 10 licenses per £450?

its 450 for a windows 10 license with 3 years sa - the windows 10 machine will be virtual hosted on our own infra.. Sorry licensing is not my thing and i dont think its really our software assurance teams thing either
