Cortex XDR VDI_ENABLED=1 and TS_ENABLED=1

[P.Ghule]

I want to know about how TS_ENABLED=1 and VDI_ENABLED=1 command works during installation.

And how Temporary sessions are managed by Cortex XDR Agent.

Hi @P.Ghule, 

Please reference the Install the Cortex XDR Agent for Windows • Cortex XDR Agent Administrator Guide

• TS_ENABLED=1—Use to install the Cortex XDR agent on the golden image for a temporary session. This option identifies the session as a temporary session in Cortex XDR and to apply license and endpoint management policy specific for temporary sessions. To set up the Cortex XDR agent on a golden image for temporary sessions, see Cortex XDR Agent for Virtual Environments and Desktops.
  
  

• VDI_ENABLED=1—Use to install the Cortex XDR agent on the golden image for a non-persistent VDI. This option identifies the session as a VDI in Cortex XDR and applies license and endpoint management policy specific for non-persistent VDI. To set up the Cortex XDR agent on a golden image for non-persistent VDI, see Cortex XDR Agent for Virtual Environments and Desktops

The main focus here is how the license allocations are managed for different installation type and architecture that is been explained in the attached documentation in detail.
