Explanation

To verify whether a Windows license is assigned to an Azure VM, you inspect the VM's 'LicenseType' property using Azure PowerShell. The command 'Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName <rg> -Name Host1' returns the VM object, and the LicenseType field shows values such as 'Windows_Client' or 'Windows_Server' if Azure Hybrid Benefit / AVD licensing is applied, or is empty/null if no license assignment is configured. This is the authoritative way to check license assignment at the VM resource level. Option A (AAD admin center product licenses) shows user-assigned Microsoft 365 licenses, not Azure VM Windows licenses. Option B ('Get-WindowsDeveloperLicense') is for Windows developer mode licenses, unrelated to VM licensing. Option C (viewing properties in the Azure portal) is possible but the 'Get-AzVm' cmdlet exposes the LicenseType property more directly and programmatically.
