Clover License<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Obtain your Clover subscription from the <a href=\"https:\/\/azuremarketplace.microsoft.com\">Azure Marketplace<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Licensing is based on a flexible, per-user, per-month model.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Covers access to Clover\u2019s specialized management features and education-specific optimizations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-active-azure-subscription\">2. Active Azure Subscription<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure an <strong>active Azure subscription<\/strong> is in place to deploy and manage Azure Virtual Desktop resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify appropriate permissions (Subscription Owner or Contributor role) are available to create, manage, and scale resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"microsoft-licensing-requirements\">3. Microsoft Licensing Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To access <strong>Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)<\/strong> through Clover, each user must be assigned an <strong>eligible per-user license<\/strong>. Clover deploys <strong>Windows 10\/11 Enterprise multi-session<\/strong> for session hosts, which requires specific Microsoft licenses to remain compliant and fully functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-eligible-licenses\">a. Eligible Licenses<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The following licenses are considered eligible for AVD access:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recommended Licenses<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Microsoft 365<\/strong>: E3, E5, A3, A5, F3, Business Premium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These subscriptions include AVD access, Office 365 apps, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Entra ID P1, enabling seamless user collaboration and automated license management\u2014making them ideal for both educational institutions and enterprises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other Licenses<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>While licenses such as\u00a0<strong>Windows Enterprise E3\/E5<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Windows Education A3\/A5<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Windows VDA per user<\/strong>\u00a0also grant AVD access, they are not sufficient on their own in environments that rely on group-based licensing\u2014as is the case with Clover&#8217;s virtual classroom integration. To support dynamic license assignment to users added through LTI or SSO, each user must also have one of the following licenses:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Office 365 Enterprise E3, Office 365 A3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office 365 GCC G3, GCCH E3, DOD E3, or higher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft Entra ID P1 (or higher tier)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-b-required-number-of-licenses\">b. Required Number of Licenses:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Clover user must have at least one valid <strong>per-user AVD access license<\/strong>. You are required to maintain a sufficient number of Microsoft licenses to cover all members using Clover. For example, if you have <strong>1,000 Clover seats<\/strong>, you must hold <strong>at least 1,000 eligible AVD access licenses<\/strong> to comply with Microsoft&#8217;s licensing requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-network-infrastructure\">4. Network Infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reliable, high-speed internet connectivity is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recommended bandwidth:<\/strong> minimum 10 Mbps per user for optimal performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider implementing Quality of Service (QoS) policies to prioritize virtual desktop traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-remote-desktop-clients\">5. Remote Desktop Clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can access Clover-enabled AVD resources via the following supported Remote Desktop clients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Windows Desktop Client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>macOS Client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>iOS Client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Android Client<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HTML5-compliant browsers (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-azure-resource-capacity\">6. Azure Resource Capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Verify your Azure subscription has sufficient resource quotas (vCPU, storage, network) to accommodate required virtual machines and associated resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request quota increases from Microsoft Azure support in advance, if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-administrator-access\">7. Administrator Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure availability of a user account with <strong>Azure AD Global Administrator<\/strong> permissions or equivalent for initial configuration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Familiarity with the Azure portal and fundamental AVD concepts is recommended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-domain-and-authentication-environment\">8. Domain and Authentication Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or Hybrid AD environment configured and operational for seamless user authentication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm proper DNS configurations and synchronization for optimal connectivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-security-considerations\">9. Security Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow Azure security best practices for resource protection and compliance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure Conditional Access policies, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and other security measures as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-endpoint-devices\">10. Endpoint Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Devices used to access Clover should support Remote Desktop client applications or HTML5-compliant web browsers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure endpoint devices are running updated operating systems and browsers for optimal security, stability, and performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these prerequisites are confirmed, you\u2019re ready to seamlessly deploy and leverage Clover\u2019s enhanced virtual desktop environment tailored to your educational and training objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our dedicated technical support team is available to assist you in reviewing your readiness, answering questions, or guiding you through each step of the deployment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For personalized support or any inquiries about meeting prerequisites, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":8688,"menu_order":2,"template":"","manualdocumentationcategory":[32],"manual_doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-7753","manual_documentation","type-manual_documentation","status-publish","hentry","manualdocumentationcategory-clover-documentation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.8 (Yoast SEO v24.8.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u2714\ufe0f Clover Prerequisites for Azure Virtual Desktop - Clover Documentation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ensure a successful deployment with Clover prerequisites for Azure Virtual Desktop.
