Hello @Chia Kah Fai (NCS)

Question1:

Yes, you are correct. To host on-prem Win 10 Pro virtual desktops on the Citrix Hypervisor, you must purchase Windows VDA Per User license.

Question2:

Does the Windows VDA Per User license provide a Windows 10 license key for installation and activation?

No, the Windows VDA Per User license does not provide a Windows 10 license key for installation and activation. It only provides the right to access a virtual desktop. You will still need to have a valid Windows 10 Pro license for each virtual desktop that you create.

Question3:

Please share Windows VDA Per User calculator link.

I'm sorry, but I cannot find a Windows VDA Per User calculator link. However, you can contact Microsoft licensing support for assistance with licensing questions and calculations.

If this does answer your question, please accept it as the answer as a token of appreciation.
