WVD and a Windows Server 2016 VM / Licensing
J_Bush i had a case opened with Microsoft for a similar situation. In our clients situation they had server 2016 just like you and the RDS warning came up. Our clients, because of licensing, face one of a few things. The server is going to look for RDS CALs (see below) which caused the pop-up. The message from the support team was that I needed to install the license role, install the RDS key on the machine, and point the GPO at this machine. We are a CSP so we purchased the correct amount of RDS's 1yr CAL's and did as described. Is your issue similar, if not, what is different? Thanks!

- Curious, did you install the license role on the session host itself? And if so, was that what was what was recommended by the support team? As opposed to installing the role on a separate server?
