We have about 30 students yearly that take courses requiring Autodesk Professional 2015, AutoCad and Maya, and each of them have a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. In the past we would install Bootcamp on the student's laptop who require this software but it becomes a bit overwhelming to do this in a short amount of time before new semesters etc and the MacBook Pros don't run so well with this. We have a very robust VMware environment with 3 hosts that I am interested in leveraging with a Windows 2012 server and installing these apps on. Looking at the EULA, it doesn't look like terminal services is allowed but that is for the paid license version I believe. I can't find any info on doing this with the educational licenses? If this is possible for my students, does anyone have experience setting this up? Any advice etc?

the EULA applies to all licenses
Citrix would be the only supported platform for virtualization

right here: 10. Session Specific Network License. If the License Identification identifies the License Type as a "Session Specific Network License", Licensee may install one (1) copy of the specific release of the Licensed Materials designated in the applicable License Identification on a Computer and permit Access to such Licensed Materials from multiple Computers through a Supported Virtualization Application, on a Networked Basis, solely by Licensee's Personnel, solely for Licensee's Internal Business needs, only so long as the maximum number of concurrent Sessions does not exceed the Permitted Number or other limits imposed by the Autodesk License Manager tool (if any). For purposes of this Session Specific Network License, (a) a “Session” is defined as a single interactive information exchange between two Computers that are connected through a Supported Virtualization Application, and (b) “Supported Virtualization Application(s)” are those third party virtualization applications or methods that are specifically identified as supported by Autodesk in the User Documentation for the Licensed Materials. With respect to the applicable Supported Virtualization Application, Licensee agrees to activate any available session tracking mechanism, not disable any such session tracking mechanism and to retain all records generated by such session tracking mechanism. A Session Specific Network License is for a perpetual term, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
the only supported virtualization autodesk supports is Citrix
and certain products require a special citrix license to run in a citrix enviroment
