For those who have heard me speak on VMware’s end user computing solutions at VMUG’s, VMware Knowledge Series, or Clearpath events know that ThinApp is an important element in the abstraction or decoupling of the apps that our users care about, and the Windows OS as the tool that we still need to run those apps. ThinApp as a technology is alive and well, and is more important than ever with the launch of VMware View 5.2, VMware Horizon Workspace, and VMware Mirage – products all capable of delivering ThinApp virtualized software into the end user computing environments that they support. ThinApp is not being discontinued! The current stand-alone licensing scheme for ThinApp client licenses and the ThinApp Suite (including ThinApp client licenses, ThinApp packager, and VMware Workstation) are being discontinued. From the How to Buy page, we read that ThinApp will no longer be available as of December 15, 2013, with no orders for ThinApp being accepted after that date. The EOA notice is posted on the VMware ThinApp How To Buy page, with a PDF FAQ document here. I thought I might set the record straight here. I’ve had questions from customers and have seen some musings on social media about a VMware End of Availability Notice (EOA) for VMware ThinApp.
