Trial licenses. Automate and rebuild
r
Ok, sounds good. Thanks
o
I use VMUG advantage for my VMware hosts. It’s 200$ usd a year , and well worth it. I don’t mind using automation to rebuild my windows guests , but prefer to keep my vmware hosts as-is and licensed
r
I just stumbled apon vmug advantage. Neat.

Thanks

Trial licenses also, most trial licenses last 180 days and its quick and easy to rebuild once every 6 months. As Jarian said, automation helps with this πŸ™‚

Thanks

I just recently read that you now have to contact Citrix for trial licenses? Anyone have info or experience with that recently?
I'm actually looking to build a lab over the holiday break.

CVAD has 30 day trial builtin in. The only issue will be download access if you don’t have it.

I need a new lab. Not sure what I will do. I need to either build a beefy desktop with a nas or figure out some cloud solution
o
That would more be a question for the lab rats channel , I think. Let me send you an invite

I use CSP licenses from my employer for most if not all things. The only thing I did not manage to get a license for was ADC but I have workarounds for that πŸ™‚

Microsoft Action Pack as that gives ms license for almost everything although I agree with with Jarian. Automate and rebuild. Automation Framework Community Edition. Also VMUG Advantage for VMware licenses.

Same, rebuild & Action Pack & VMUG fir the rest (I get VMW licenses through vExpert & Citrix through CTP + Parallels through VIPP).
r
Ctp gives u licensing. Nice. Maybe one day I can get that.
l
Ray, sign up as a Citrix partner, you run your own business contacting right?

Is there a non-partner alternative to Action Pack? Also, for VMUG Advantage; if you need a 10% discount code, there are some floating around pretty much always. If you can't find one, hit me up and I can likely get you one. I mean $200 isn't much for what one gets, but why not save $20 on it. πŸ™‚
