Question

Use azure service to provide win32app demo on website

Laveau, Adrien 41

Hello Community,

I am a software provider of a win32app (desktop software). I would like to offer a demo of the software accessible via web-browser on my website. The idea is that users can open a tab from my website where they would only see my software (no access to windows). THey would "play around" with data already provided.

The idea I have is to have only one Virtual Machine on which several instances of the software could run (10-20), each user session would be limited to 20mn to allow other users to enjoy the demo.

Can this be achieved with any azure product? If yes, how?

Thank you

Good morning,

I indeed ended on an AVD demostration in youtube that shows that I can use AVD to do remote app. It seems to be exactly what I need. The hardest part will be now to manage properly the access to external users. I do not want users to put any username or password, I want it to be totally free of access for a seamless experience.

I'll read the documents, thank you.

Hi Laveau, Adrien,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here
Based on your query,
Can give it try on AVD service from azure. Create an env an AVD env in the Azure portal. Add a VM where your Win32 application will run. Use AVD to publish your app as a remote app. Make the users can only access the app for a limited time, set session timeouts to end each session after 20 minutes. This can be configured using AVD settings, group policies or custom scripts Please refer the below documents more
What is Azure Virtual Desktop?
Deploy Azure Virtual Desktop
Publish applications with RemoteApp in Azure Virtual Desktop
Configure the session lock behavior for Azure Virtual Desktop

Note: - Before doing any action please test in testing env better to know the issue to address before proceeding directly into main env
