With nonpersistent VDI, the rules of the game change for IT admins.

This concept may seem straightforward, but the usual rules do not apply to nonpersistent Office 365 VDI deployments.

This approach does not work for nonpersistent VDI because Office is not licensed for shared use.

Instead, users are assigned a random virtual desktop from a pool of available desktops each time they log in.

With Office 365 VDI licensing, each copy of Microsoft Office does not count against a specific users five device limit because the virtual desktop does not belong to one specific user.

Essentially, Office 365 VDI licensing is a per-device model rather than per user where the device is the virtual desktop.

We are a small operation, but we acquired VL version of Office 2016, which was msi version.

Please be aware that currently you cannot mix msi and click-to-run versions of the Office 2016 suite.

Admins must consider their personal use cases to determine.
