I am looking to set up a Azure Multi-session VM using an E3 license, but I am wondering what licenses my employees would need for them to access the Multi-session VM. Is the business standard license enough for them?

Hi Nick Lewin,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
I Hope the Answer provided by Marcin Policht was useful,
I would recommend upgrading the License with
You need to use WVD with Windows Server-based session hosts though, not WVD with Windows 10 Multi-Session - this is because of licensing reasons.
Since you are providing a hosted service, the access of the end customers would need to be licensed via RDS Subscriber Access Licenses (RDS SALs) obtained via SPLA, for hosted scenarios like this there is no other option then to use SPLA licenses because usage of RDS role is not covered with the Windows VM license that Azure offers.
