Hi @Anonymous

Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

Unfortunately, Windows 10/11 Enterprise multi-session is only available for Azure Virtual Desktop

Hope this helps!

Hi @Carlos Solís Salazar

Thank you very much, if I'm not mistaken, this is an independent solution. I need a solution that relies on VMware Horizon.

In case I'm wrong, it means that I need to install the Azure Virtual Desktop kit and do I need vmware Horizon in this case?

Hi @Anonymous
Yes, you are correct, Azure Virtual Desktop is a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, like VMware Horizon.

That's why I said to you that Windows 10/11 Enterprise multi-session is only available for Azure Virtual Desktop

You can implement VMware Horizon Cloud Service on Microsoft Azure

So, unfortunately, you cannot use Windows 10/11 multi-session outside of Azure Virtual Desktop.

Hope this helps!

Ok, thank you,

What happens when Win Server OS is used instead of Windows 10 / 11 for virtual machines, do they need any additional licenses?

Regards.

If you want to use Windows Server multi-session, you must acquire Windows CAL Licences for your serveres
