Hi,
I'm looking to buy WSL for my organization and want to have a look at the license part of WSL. Can you please help here so that it can be shared with my org contract team.

Thanks,

    Hi,

    Do you mean WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)? If it stands for anything else, please kindly let me know.

    WSL2 features a Linux kernel running inside Windows 10 and is built on the core technology of Hyper-V to provide better Linux application support and improved file performance.

    To enable WSL2 (via the Turn Windows features on or off or dism or Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature command), we need win10 1903 or above. WSL is a win10 feature and mostly there is no official statement additional cost is required for the WSL feature. It seems we only need the win10 licenses.

    Since this forum is mostly focusing on technical questions, for such license related question, to get a dedicated answer, we may contact Microsoft Licensing Center.
