How to install Lenovo VMware Horizon v. 8.0 Standard Edition - Upgrade License - 100 CCU

Installing an upgrade license for VMware Horizon on Lenovo hardware involves coordinated steps to ensure a smooth transition to Horizon 8.0 Standard Edition with up to 100 CCU. The process is designed to be straightforward for IT teams already running Horizon, while preserving existing configurations and user mappings. The following guidelines outline a typical upgrade workflow, intended to minimize downtime and maximize compatibility with your current virtualization stack.

• Assess your current Horizon environment: Verify your existing Horizon deployment version, edition, and license status. Confirm hardware compatibility and ensure that your VMware components meet the Horizon 8.0 Standard requirements. Take a full backup of critical components and virtual desktop pools before proceeding.
• Obtain the upgrade license key: Retrieve the Lenovo OEM upgrade license key through the authorized Lenovo OEM channel or the Lenovo-VMware licensing partner. Ensure the key is scoped to Horizon 8.0 Standard Edition with a 100 CCU allocation.

Follow on-screen prompts to complete activation and confirm that all functional licenses reflect Horizon 8.0 Standard Edition.
