    The company providing the AVD services will need to provide a VDA licence for you to access their systems.

    @sk Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

    The Windows VDA subscription license allows access to virtual Windows desktop environments from devices that aren’t covered by a Commercial Licensing offer that includes VDA rights (such as thin clients). It’s available on a per-device and per-user basis. If you’re using Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD), this license is relevant.
