Dell ThinOS Installation and ThinOS Activation License User Guide

When is a ThinOS Activation License required?

ThinOS Activation Licenses are required when:

• Running ThinOS on a Latitude 3420 or OptiPlex 5400 All-in-One. These platforms do not support installation of a ThinOS license in the BIOS and require a TAL.
• Running ThinOS 2205 (or later) on Wyse 3040, Wyse 5070, Wyse 5470 AIO, or Wyse 5470 MTC that did not ship with ThinOS installed.
  • TAL is also required on devices that were shipped with no operating system or shipped with an alternative operating system like ThinLinux or Windows 10 IoT and later converted to ThinOS using the Wyse USB firmware tool.
  • Since these clients did not ship with ThinOS, the ThinOS license is not embedded in the BIOS and a TAL is required.
• Running ThinOS 2303 (or later) on Latitude 3440, Latitude 5440, OptiPlex All-in-One 7410 that did not ship with ThinOS installed.
  • TAL is also required on devices that were shipped with no operating system or shipped with an alternative operating system like Ubuntu or Windows and then later converted to ThinOS using the ThinOS Ubuntu conversion image or ISO image.
  • Since these clients did not ship with ThinOS, the ThinOS license is not embedded in the BIOS and a TAL is required.
• Using a system that shipped with ThinOS 8.x without PCoIP enabled and now requires a PCoIP connection to be enabled.
