WVD license confusion

[prfraczek]

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?

You are eligible to access Windows 10 and Windows 7 with Windows Virtual Desktop if you have one of the following per user licenses*:

• Microsoft 365 E3/E5
• Microsoft 365 A3/A5/Student Use Benefits
• Microsoft 365 F3
• Microsoft 365 Business Premium**
• Windows 10 Enterprise E3/E5
• Windows 10 Education A3/A5
• Windows 10 VDA per user

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

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.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium for license: 16.9 EUR u/m

Azure AD Domain Services for domain-join setup and to avoid on-prem: ~100 EUR /m

Some Virtual Connectivity: xx EUR /m

Thanks for this, currently I am running business basic and I've added 365 F3 license for rd wvd users within azure portal- just not overlaid services.
