![]() In Part 1 of ‘Reading the Tea Leaves Before VMworld,’ I looked at some recent VMware acquisitions to make some predictions on what might be announced this week at VMworld. ThinApp 4.7.3 also fixes 40-some issues, including problems with virtualized Internet Explorer, Firefox, Microsoft Office, and Camtasia. Of note in this release is support for packaging and running ThinApp virtualized applications on Windows 8, and introduces a new parameter that can help overcome conflicts between ThinApps. The release notes for ThinApp 4.7.3 are here. While I’m on the topic of ThinApp, I should also mention that VMware released ThinApp 4.7.3 last week. Whether you are just starting out with ThinApp, or have been using it for a while and want to increase your knowledge and skills, this book is packed with great detail. There’s also a great section on testing and troubleshooting ThinApp packages – usually one of the hardest aspects of ThinApp. VMware ThinApp 4.7 Essentials provides great detail on ThinApp architecture, the basics of application packaging, deployment of ThinApp packages (including details on using Horizon Application Manager) ThinApp project updating, and design considerations. I’ve got the book on my Kindle and thought I would share a bit about it. Packt Publishing has released a new book on VMware ThinApp: VMware ThinApp 4.7 Essentials, by Peter Björk. The power of ThinApp can be further extended with VMware Horizon Application Manager – an ‘App Store’ for the enterprise. The ThinApp application runs in a sandbox on any computer without the need for a locally installed agent or any significant datacenter infrastructure. ThinApp does this by virtualizing everything that makes a Windows app a Windows app – registry entries, DLL registrations, Program Files directories, and user personalization – into a single. ![]() Leveraging ThinApp allows administrators to overcome application compatibility issues while providing new application deployment options to both physical desktops as well as VMware View desktops. ThinApp is an essential piece of VMware’s end user computing portfolio as it acts as the decoupling agent between legacy Windows applications and the underlying operating system. įiled Under: Horizon Mirage, Horizon Workspace, VMware, VMware Horizon Application Manager, VMware Horizon View Tagged With: horizon, licensing, users, view Learn VMware ThinApp with New ThinApp Essentials Book I have more info on the ThinApp EOA here. This whitepaper also covers the announced End of Availability for View Enterprise edition, Horizon Application Manager, and ThinApp. You are not being forced to change licensing terms like Citrix did to XenDesktop customers a few years back.ĭetails of the licensing changes can be found in this VMware Horizon Licensing and Upgrading Whitepaper. If you want to keep using View Premier only and not upgrade to the Horizon Suite licensing, you can keep using the per concurrent user licensing.This swap brings View in line with licensing terms of the other end user computing offerings in the suite when licensed as part of the Horizon Suite. Horizon Application Manager (the predecessor to Horizon Workspace) was also per named user. ![]()
