I would start here.   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/storage/temp/12620-microsoft-vdi-and-vda-faq-v3-0.pdf
and https://npifinancial.com/blog/what-is-windows-vda-vda-add-on-licensing-and-is-it-right-for-you/

It depends on what type of device is connection to the VDI machines.  

Talk to your reseller and they should be able to help with VDA licenses.
