Welcome to the Horizon universal license page. We’re making it easier than ever to utilize the Horizon portfolio using our new universal license. This landing page provides useful information on our new universal license and includes links to product documentation and download pages.

 

What is the Horizon universal license?

 

The Horizon universal license provides a single subscription license for all Horizon products. The universal license entitles customers to:

 

Horizon Cloud

• Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure
• Horizon Cloud on IBM Cloud
  

Horizon 7 Subscription

• Horizon 7 subscription on-premises
• Horizon 7 subscription on VMC on AWS
• Horizon 7 subscription on Google Cloud VMware Engine
  

 

*Note: Infrastructure is not included as part of the universal license. The license only entitles customers to Horizon Cloud and Horizon 7 subscription software. Customers are required to bring their own infrastructure or in the case of Horizon Cloud on IBM Cloud, purchase capacity from VMware.

How does the universal license affect existing customers?
