  • Q8

    What are Windows 365 Cloud Apps?

    Windows 365 Cloud Apps enable administrators to provide users access to specific applications rather than a full Cloud PC.

    Windows 365 Cloud Apps are a great fit for enterprise organizations with VDI experience currently engaged in or considering a migration to Windows 365, that have a catalog of applications that they’d like to make available to users without having to provide access to a full Cloud PC. These organizations will also benefit from the ability to manage Cloud Apps and their Cloud PCs through a single management plane (Microsoft Intune).

    Requirements: A Windows 365 Frontline Cloud PC license is required, and apps run on Frontline Cloud PCs provisioned in shared mode.
  • Q10

    How much does Windows 365 Cloud Apps cost?

    A Windows 365 Frontline Shared license must be purchased to access Windows 365 Cloud Apps functionality. The total cost for Windows 365 Cloud Apps will depend on the number of Windows 365 Frontline Shared licenses purchased.

    There is no limit to the number of apps you can stream with Windows 365 Cloud Apps. Choosing the optimal number of apps for your deployment is a function of several different factors including the type of applications you’re choosing to stream and the configuration of the Frontline Shared Cloud PC. For additional guidance regarding sizing, configuration, and optimization, please visit our Windows 365 Cloud Apps documentation.
  • Q12

    Is it possible to use Windows 365 Cloud Apps with a Windows 365 Enterprise License?

    No. Windows 365 Cloud Apps requires the purchase of a Windows 365 Frontline Shared Cloud PC license.
  • Q13

    How can organizations determine how many Windows 365 Frontline Shared Cloud PCs are needed for their use cases?

    There are several factors that will determine how many licenses/Cloud PCs you will need per cloud app provisioning policy, chief among them geographic location, apps that can simultaneously exist on the same OS image, and max concurrent usage of apps. For example, the number of Windows 365 policies will correspond to the number of different geographic regions and/or the number of OS images needed to support a set of applications. The number of licenses assigned to each policy will be determined by the maximum number of users who will need to access the apps concurrently.
