It's been a couple years since I have been involved in an AVD deployment. Back then, there were specific licensing requirements for Office inside an AVD environment.

I cannot seem to find documentation anymore - is there still a licensing requirement? Or have those gone away, and something as simple as Business Standard will work?

Note: I am not referring to the Windows licensing requirements to use AVD; I am specifically referring to Office 365.

Hi all, sanity check required here if I may...

We've been running a small AVD deployment with the AVD hosts on Windows 10. We'd like to replace these with some Windows 11 VMs.

The current Win10 machines are using the image "Windows (Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktops)".
All users have 365 Business Premium licensing, which I understood effectively licenses the operating system on the VMs for their use case in Azure.

While going through creation of the Windows 11 VMs to replace them, I could not find a direct Win11 equivalent to the above image.
The nearest I can find in the marketplace is "Windows multi-session + Microsoft 365 Apps", under which I can select "Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session, version 24H2 + Microsoft 365 Apps".

However, having selected this, I'm still required to tick the box for "I confirm I have an eligible Windows 10/11 license with multi-tenant hosting rights" before I'm able to create the VM.

Can anyone confirm this is normal, that this is the correct image to select, and that AVD licensing in Windows 11 works in the same way it did in Windows 10? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!
