Windows Virtual Desktop server - licensing mode not configured?
AlexPawlak: When deploying Windows Server you still require to stand-up a license server. You will find pointers for configuring a license server here: https://aka.ms/rds.
AlexPawlak for client operating systems like Windows 7, Windows 10 and Windows 10 multi-session you can use Windows Per User licensing, e.g. Windows E3 Per User or higher. No RDS license server is required.
For Windows Server, it's the same as on-premises, you will need a RDS license server before the grace period expires.
Thank you - that wasn't clear for me from docs that License server needs to be configured seperately (I think docs mostly focus on Desktop deployment though, which is a bit different). It took me few minutes to set up one, so I'm finished now 🙂 You might want to monitor existing WinSrv Deployments and see for license check though, I hope I'm not the only one 🙂
