Excuse me, can Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 be deployed on-premise at the same time, in addition to cloud deployment? How to deploy it locally, and how to implement it? Is Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 and Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 local only just different in the way they are activated?

Windows 10 Enterprise E3 (local only)

Hi Aravil

Perhaps you may already got the answer on this but this is what I have read me to on different websites, so of course I´m not 100% sure but it seems logic. The VDA rights within CSP has always been a big concern and questions about and I think Microsoft actually
has listen to all the feedback if this below is true.

If you have no interest in virtual desktops, you can purchase the (local only) SKU which is cheaper.

If you already are licensed with "the normal" Windows 10 Enterprise E3/E5 you are already granted with the new virtualization rights with no increase of the price.

If you want to access these rights, but dont already have a Windows license you will be able to buy Windows 10 Enterprise E3 VDA.

I´m not sure though if it allows on-premises VDI use. I think this right is only for the cloud environment. If you want to use it for on-premises you still need a "normal" volume licensing agreement such as Open, MPSA or an EA.
