My name is Kelly O'Farrell, and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I recently joined Swinburne University IT team as an asset lifecycle advisor, and I’m looking forward to connecting with you. We are exploring the possibility of virtualizing your software Apache Jmeter and Apache NetBeans IDE deploying it on Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) to be used by our staff and students and used in our labs and would appreciate your guidance on the following key aspects: 1. Licensing Requirements – Would our existing license cover the use of your software in a virtualized AVD environment? If not, what additional licensing or changes would be required? 2. Usage While Traveling – Would our employees based in Australia be able to access and use the software while traveling overseas without any restrictions? 3. Third-Party Access – Would a person who is not directly employed by our company (e.g., a contractor or partner) be allowed to access the software from a different country via AVD? Are there any specific licensing or compliance considerations for such a scenario? We would appreciate any documentation or guidelines you can provide regarding virtualization, licensing, and geographical usage restrictions. Please let us know if you need any further details to assist with our inquiry. Looking forward to your response.
