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 Docs:
