 - Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI doesn't currently support host pools containing both cloud and on-premises session hosts. Each host pool in the deployment must have only one type of host pool.
 
-- When connecting to a Windows 10 or Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session virtual desktop, users may see activation issues, such as a desktop watermark saying "Activate Windows", even if they have an eligible license.

 - Session hosts on Azure Stack HCI don't support certain cloud-only Azure services.
 
 - Because Azure Stack HCI supports so many types of hardware and on-premises networking capabilities that performance and user density may vary widely between session hosts running in the Azure cloud. Azure Virtual Desktop's [virtual machine sizing guidelines](/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/virtual-machine-recs) are broad, so you should only use them for initial performance estimates.

+## Windows OS activation
+
+Windows VMs must be licensed and activated before you can use them on Azure Stack HCI.
+
+For activating your multi-session OS VMs (Windows 10, Windows 11, or later), enable Azure Benefits on the VM once it is created. Make sure that Azure Benefits are also enabled on the host computer. For more information, see [Azure Benefits on Azure Stack HCI](/azure-stack/hci/manage/azure-benefits).
