Windows Server Datacenter Licensing with Linked Clone

HI,

I've a server with Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition, This is an OEM licence with COA key on the server.

Normally, this key can activate unlimited VMs.

On Horizon deployment, can I use (and how) this license for the Deskop (Windows Server 2016). This licences is not compatible with KMS !

Thanks for your help.

OEM license mapped to hardware and is not combatant with KMS  also it seem your license is server license not Desktop license

you need windows 10 license ,normal windows 10 KMS key or VDI widows 10 KMS key for the number of the virtual desktops in your environment
