Windows Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

We are planning to implement VDI in our data center with 2 windows 2019 servers. We are having 40 users, all are having win10pro.
Is there any extra licensing required to use VDI for these 40 users? Users will connect VDI to use a restricted application.

Thanks in advance

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

    Windows 10 Pro alone would not allow access to a VDI solution. You would need Windows 10 Pro + VDA license, or a Windows 10 Enterprise license.

    Requesting you to get in touch with your Microsoft Licensing Partner to assess your requirement.

    License terms for Windows can be found here.
