If you don't have the papers, you will be in trouble if you are license-audited, no matter you are on-prem or you are in the cloud. However, these forums are for technical questions, and licensing does not fall within that scope. You would better contact your local Microsoft representative to sort this out.

I should add that I'm speaking from the SQL Server side of things. I can't speak to Remote Desktop Services.

Hi @TeejanEquipmentLLC-6375,

Quote from MS blog Easily bring your SQL Server licenses to Azure VMs.

Customers with Enterprise Agreement who already have SQL Server Licenses, can use them on Azure Virtual Machines with Microsoft-certified (BYOL) gallery images. These images will not charge for SQL Server licensing, just for compute cost.

This is technical forum, if you have any question about license, please call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. Or you can go to Volume Licensing Service Center support. Please choose region/language and choose to call or have web. People there will help you more effectively.
