Windows 10: How do I identify if I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5?

I changed my subscription from E3 to E5. How do I know if my Win10 Enterprise upgraded from E3 to E5? How do I identify them?

Windows 10 Enterprise E3 (CSP)

If your subscription is not active after 89 days, it will revert your system either to Windows 10 Pro or a non-E3 or E5 edition of Windows 10 Enterprise. Its basically a subscription.

Hi Aravil

Perhaps you may already got the answer on this but this is what I have read me to on different websites, so of course I´m not 100% sure but it seems logic. The VDA rights within CSP has always been a big concern and questions about and I think Microsoft actually
has listen to all the feedback if this below is true.

If you have no interest in virtual desktops, you can purchase the (local only) SKU which is cheaper.

If you already are licensed with "the normal" Windows 10 Enterprise E3/E5 you are already granted with the new virtualization rights with no increase of the price.

If you want to access these rights, but dont already have a Windows license you will be able to buy Windows 10 Enterprise E3 VDA.

I´m not sure though if it allows on-premises VDI use. I think this right is only for the cloud environment. If you want to use it for on-premises you still need a "normal" volume licensing agreement such as Open, MPSA or an EA.

I recommend you reach out to Michael Niehaus on Twitter who understands a great deal about the licensing of E3 and E5.

You should also ask Susan Bradley, a known wealth of knowledge when it comes Windows Enterprise E3 and E5:
