@DustinB3403 time to call the boss back and ask if they can find these licenses. Keep the boss in the loop at each stage of "now he says it is here... it is not" and "now he's sending me here, it isn't there either."
If at the end of the day he comes up with a license, he will leverage that. But if the boss witnessed the non-stop hiding as it happens, it'll be different. Just make sure the boss thinks you are updating him, don't let the frustration come through.

I could see going ahead and using a trial license to get by for a week or two while the vendor corrects the "licensing assignment" fuck-up.
But not to continually "re-up" on a trial license when licenses have been purchased for now for MONTHS!

If this webinar will help me understand better, then I'll sign up for it. My curiosity has the better of me when it comes to this stuff. I just have to create the time.
Im' interested but the ad said it was all open source, but the vendor in question seems to have no info about their source or licensing anywhere.
Open source is what piqued my interest

Yeah, could be really cool. But they don't make it seem like it is open source when you go to the site at all.

If I remember correctly, our Citrix / Terminial Services solution cost around $25k with hardware, software & setup and we could only handle about 30-35 connections before we tapped out. And that was in the early 2000's.
Open source solutions seem like worth pursuing even with the learning curve on my part. -

If they exist
The seminar, I think, seems to be trying to sell a non-open product on top of open source. From what I can tell, there is no open source in the "VDI solution" portion. If there is, they totally hide it. Go look at the web site, there is no way to get the source whatsoever and zero mention of a license.
Terminal services is different from VDI and you can do that today for free with open source. And you can do VDI with open source - just install any desktop VM on KVM or Xen and ta da... full stack open source VDI. That's literally all it takes.

If you mean RDP or VNC or SSH or Telnet, then yes, I have that. More, I don't know what I'm doing but I am willing to learn.
Will you send me someplace special?
