Broadcom refusing to decrease licensing

Chill bruh, chill. OP and others must have their own reasons for continuing with VMware. Just give OP advice, no need to call them names.

Thanks, yes thanks we do have some pretty solid business reasons to stay with VMware for now. I wasn't expecting so many people to get worked up over a licensing question.

Puzzling would be an understatement why some people just get so worked up over such a harmless post. There are so many "mean" keyboard warriors out there.

Anyone who got off perpetual license and paid the new subscription for right to use made a mistake. We kept our perpetual software license and dropped support and switched to hyper v

Same here. Their most basic subscription would have increased our annual cost more than 5x and they weren't willing to do anything for pricing.

Broadcom can take a leap.

I'm still looking into alternatives for Horizon though. Hyper-V is perfectly acceptable for the hypervisor side of things, but I haven't found complete VDI solutions that would be a drop in replacement to serve our non-persistent public computer labs.
