Hi.

Silly question, I am confused which product  to buy.  We are using 2012 will be using QuickBooks and some other apps.  Do we buy the standard edition or do we have to buy the QuickBooks edition.  Where I am confused is between the difference between the 2 products.  Or do we need to buy both?  Any help appreciated.

WHS/WSE QuickBooks is one of my older “legacy” products. It has been superseded by WHS/WSE RemoteApp. Basically, WHS/WSE QuickBooks allows you to use only QuickBooks as a RemoteApp program; whereas WHS/WSE RemoteApp allows you to publish any application that is installed on the server as a RemoteApp program (including QuickBooks). Therefore, since you are wanting to use more RemoteApp programs than just QuickBooks, then WHS/WSE RemoteApp would indeed be a better match for you.

Additionally, you will need to match the edition of WHS/WSE RemoteApp you install/purchase to the version of Windows Server that you have installed on your server as follows:

If you have Windows Home Server 2011, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials, or Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials, then you want to use WHS RemoteApp 2011.

If you have Windows Server 2012 Essentials, then you want to use WSE RemoteApp 2012.

If you have Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Essentials, or Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter (with the Windows Server Essentials Experience server role), then you want to use WSE RemoteApp 2012 R2.

If you have Windows Server 2016 Essentials or Windows Server 2016 Standard/Datacenter (with the Windows Server Essentials Experience server role), then you want to use WSE RemoteApp 2016.

Lastly, the “edition” of WHS/WSE RemoteApp that you purchase (Student Edition, Starter Edition, Basic Edition, Standard Edition, Professional Edition, etc.) depends only upon the number of users and/or RemoteApp programs that you need. Functionality wise, they are all equivalent.
