Sage 100, 200 on Azure Virtual Desktop Multisession

At this very moment I am performing the same task...setting up Sage 100 Advanced on AVD. I have both an AVD host and a server running Sage 100 Advanced. I ran into two issues after installing Sage 100 Workstation on the AVD host:

1. First error I received was a Activation Not Found error. I determined it was a permissions issue on the folder where Sage 100 Workstation was installed. Note that as my preference I created a top level folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage, and then installed Sage 100 Workstation there. So it became C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Sage 100 Workstation. I had a domain security group for my Sage 100 Users. I set that group with Modify permissions on the C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage folder and those permissions propogated down thru the sublevel files and folders. That resolved the Activation Not Found Issue.
2. Then while in a second AVD session and attempting to access Sage 100 Advance, I received the error "1 User Limit Exceeded. No Valid Activation Found. I found the answer in this Sage KB: https://us-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=222924850025520&hypermediatext=null . In summary, I copied the Activation.pvx file from the server to the workstation. After that I was able to access Sage 100 Advance in multiple AVD sessions without error.

Did not seem to matter which RDP client I used (though at this date, I either use the Web Client, the Remote Desktop Client, or the new Windows App (all either for Windows or MacOS).

Hope this helps with anyone trying to configure AVD & Sage 100.
