    Hi @Punditji

    Yes this is correct. Unlike Windows 10 single or multi-session Client OS, you do need to install the license Server when deploying RDSH VMs (Server OS) with WVD.

    The following roles will be managed by Microsoft:
    -Remote Desktop Connection Broker
    -Remote Desktop Gateway
    -Remote Desktop Web Access

    You will manage the following:
    -Remote Desktop License Server
    -Remote Desktop Session Host

    See the compatibility of the License Server on the following link from Microsoft Learn:
