Dell ThinOS 2211, 2208, and 2205 Release Notes

ThinOS enhancements

• Added ThinOS Activation devices licenses in Wyse Management Suite—The licenses must be used in the following two scenarios:
  • Devices that are converted from other operating systems must use the ThinOS activation licenses to enable VDI function. Without the ThinOS activation license, you cannot log in to any Broker agent on the devices. The ThinOS activation licenses are used automatically when registering to Wyse Management Suite.
  • Non-PCoIP ThinOS clients that are upgraded from ThinOS 8.6 can use ThinOS Activation license to enable the PCoIP function. Go to Services > WDA Settings > Enable PCoIP Activation License to enable this option in ThinOS 9.x policy. Restart your device for the function to take effect.
  NOTE:Once ThinOS Activation devices licenses are consumed, you cannot restore them. The licenses are permanently applied on the ThinOS clients.
  NOTE:If the ThinOS clients are reset to factory default settings, the licenses are not cleared, and the ThinOS clients function as usual.
  NOTE: If you recover the ThinOS clients through ISO images or merlin images, the licenses are cleared. You must register the devices to the same Wyse Management Suite server that you used before to reactivate them. ThinOS clients use the original licenses and do not consume new licenses. For Non-PCoIP ThinOS clients, you must also enable Enable PCoIP Activation License option in ThinOS 9.x policy to reactivate the licenses.
• Supports Latitude 3420
  NOTE:You must have ThinOS Activation devices license for Latitude 3420 to enable VDI function.
