WVD Licensing setup
How do I enable licensing for WVD - I get a pop up saying to configure RDS Licensing.
- Jun 20, 2019
It's similar to how on-premises licensing works . If you are using Windows Server RDSH, you need a RDS CAL for every user that connects. If you are using a Windows Client OS, you are covered with your Windows E3 (or better) Per User licensing.
Since, from a licensing perspective, Windows 10 Multi-session is considered a client OS - you don't need an RDS CAL and there is no need to configure a TS licensing host.
An Admin might be getting pop-ups about a grace period, that's something we are fixing.
- For 1903 builds that should go away in a couple of weeks.
- For 1809 builds it will take longer and the best workaround is using the latest image from the gallery which has a grace period of 800 days. We promise to fix this before the 800 days are over.
Thanks, Pieter

yes I have followed it and the GPOs that are addressed in the article shows up as "Not Configured" . Note: it works for 4 other VMs, that are under the same OU and get the same GPOs applied as the one that it doesn´t work for. I have also checked for Windows updates multiple times but it sais that we have the latest ones
