WVD license confusion

Question

I've successfully deployed WVD arm version.

We're running Microsoft 365 Business Basic. What additional license I have to get for RD users to be eligible run WVD? We're running macs. If I swap Business Basic for Business Essentials will it work? Any other options? We won't have any local servers/computers.

Any other cheaper options?

yes, I noticed this generic info but my question is as we already use Business Basic so can I just buy additional F3 for rd users? It cannot be fully attached to 365 business license but within azure portal I can just enable WVD for specific group

prfraczek&nbsp;&nbsp;The cheapest option to get a WVD license seems to be that you buy a "Windows 10 Enterprise E3" license for all users that needs access to WVD.F3 license is more expensive than the Windows 10 Enterprise E3 license.
