When we want to deploy azure local, we should install windows server datacenter for HCI. Can i know if this OS need the license like in non HCI version? Or the azure stack HCI only need subscription USD 10/core/month? Also for VM inside the HCI will need windows license or no need license like VM inside the Hyper-V?
