05/15/2025, 1:08 PMBy "guest users" I mean external users, which will be created in the customers tenant. I'm wondering what the per-user access licensing will cost.

05/15/2025, 1:13 PMYou can see that in the Azure Pricing Calculator. Just select AVD and scroll down to per user access pricing:

06/22/2025, 7:40 PMIt works for anyone that wants to use AVD without using the more expensive M365/Windows related licensing - not just for an ISV.
