Forefront Licence for running within Windows XP Mode on Windows 7?
- I've read it's good practice to secure a virtual PC as thorough as a normal PC.
So it seems obvious to install a forefront client on a virtual PC running in Windows XP mode on Windows 7.
Do I need 1 or 2 licences per workstation? Or is it just overkill to install this client on the virtual PC?
Thanks for your replies.

- Did you licensed Forefront per-user or per-device?
- My company is a Gold Certified Partner. And we are licensed to 100 user licenses for internal use.
But it doesn's say if its per-user or per-device.
So I gues it can be both.
