Most of customer is very confuse VDI type and license. I hope it will help you understand correctly.
1. What’s different OS between Sessions
based, Pool VMs and Personal VMs?
We don’t differentiate Session Based/Pool VMs/Personal VMs in
terms of OS rather these are types or mode of offering VDI infrastructure. In
more simplified manner Microsoft VDI is comprised of session-based and VM-based
solutions.
A Session-Based Desktop is an individual session
running inside a server Operating System on either a virtual machine or a
physical server. There can be multiple user sessions per virtual/physical
machine. The VDI (session based) environment (many users sharing a single
server or servers. In case of the Session based users are going to get the
Server desktop session (example RDP).
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an individual
virtual machine running a desktop Operating System. Although there can be
multiple virtual machines per a given underlying physical server, but, only one
user at a time on a given virtual machine i.e. each user can be
assigned their own virtual machine. In case of Pooled/Personal users will get
dedicated Desktop OS (Windows 7 or windows 8 based desktop OS). In case of
pooled VMs it will be pool of identical VMs and users will assign to any VMs
from that pool. Where as in case of Personal VMs users will get their own
personal dedicated VMs.
2. Should I buy Add-on license, such as
Session based licenses?, Windows RDS (device cal or user cal), and what’s the
most suitable from requirement?
Answer the 1 and 2:

* If the Client (Windows 8) contain SA, the VDA subscription is
included.
Choose a VDI Deployment Scenario
Please refer these attachments “VDA_Brochure.pdf” and” Microsoft
VDI and VDA FAQ v3 0.pdf” for more VDI license details.
3. My Software in
No.2 and 3. it will effect license, if I would like to do VDI? I should
buy license with SA or not?
4. My Software in No.3, Can you suggest
the license software that I should buy.
Answer the 3 and 4:
Both Pool VMs and Personal VMs is not cover any license for
other software. For example, if we installed Office in the VM, please purchase
appropriate license just like a physics PC.
5. Some License is separated in
Device-CAL and User-CAL. I choose buy one or both.
Customer only need purchase one type of the CAL. Please refer
this article:
About Licensing
Client Access Licenses and Management Licenses
User CALs
With the User CAL, you purchase a CAL for every user who
accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing,
regardless of the number of devices they use for that access. Purchasing a User
CAL might make more sense if your company employees need to have roaming access
to the corporate network using multiple devices, or from unknown devices, or
simply have more devices than users in your organization.
Device CALs
With a Device CAL, you purchase a CAL for every device that
accesses your server, regardless of the number of users who use that device to
access the server. Device CALs may make more economic and administrative sense
if your company has workers who share devices, for example, on different work
shifts.
6. How much SKU license for VDI?
Officially the VDA is $100 /year/device, but the Partner can
find the price list from Disti.
Hope it help. Good Luck
