Question
You have an Azure subscription that contains 500 users. The users are assigned Microsoft Office 365 E1 licenses.
You deploy an Azure Virtual Desktop solution that contains Windows 10 multi-session hosts and streams a custom remote app named App1.
You need to ensure that the users are licensed to stream App1. The solution must minimize costs.
Which license should you use?
- A. Microsoft 365 E5
- B. Office 365 E3
- C. a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) client access license (CAL)
- D. Windows 10 Enterprise E3 Correct
Explanation
Access to Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session session hosts for internal users is granted by Microsoft 365 E3/E5/A3/A5/F3/Business Premium, Windows Enterprise E3/E5, Windows Education A3/A5 or Windows VDA per user. Of the options, Windows 10 Enterprise E3 is the cheapest eligible license. Microsoft 365 E5 also qualifies but costs far more, Office 365 E3 (like the existing E1) does not include a Windows entitlement, and an RDS CAL only licenses Windows Server session hosts.
