What are the Licensed component for deploying Windows 7 or 8 as VM in Citrix VDI implementation ?

Hi Folks,

I'm planning to deploy 350 Windows 7 OS Virtual Machine for my Citrix XenDesktop 7.1 VDI projects, this VM will be accessed by the users internally in the office by using Laptop and PC which already got OEM sticker of Windows 7 workstation.

What sort of licensing that I need ?

Suppose I pay for VDA $100 per VM deployed (active) yearly, does it also cover the scenario where the VDI Win7 VM is accessible by the user from Tablet or home PC published by Citrix StoreFront ?

So irrespective of what the software agreement or license I got with Microsoft, I will still need to get VDA license per Client OS I have ?

ok, so in this case getting the Software Assurance licensing scheme is the best way to go for long term VDI implementation and during the agreement period I can have support as well ?
