Before you can start managing your Azure environment, you need to install and configure the Nerdio Manager application. This entails granting Nerdio Manager the right Azure permissions, running the installer, activating your subscription, and getting familiar with the management console before you move on to building out your environment.
Nerdio Manager is an Azure application that is deployed from the Azure Marketplace and runs inside your own Entra ID tenant and Azure subscription. It requires certain permissions during installation, configuration, and ongoing use.
Tip
See the following document for a deep dive into the Azure permissions and Nerdio Manager: Nerdio Manager for Enterprise - Permissions.
The Entra ID user performing the installation of Nerdio Manager requires the following permissions:
-
Global Administrator role in Entra ID.
-
Owner role in the Azure subscription.
Note
These elevated permissions are needed only for the initial installation and configuration process, and are not necessary for the ongoing use of Nerdio Manager.
When Nerdio Manager is installed, it has the following API application permissions in Azure:
While activating Nerdio Manager licensing subscription, a new SaaS subscription object Azure resource is created on the Azure subscription, which allows Nerdio Manager to charge for license consumption as a 3rd party service on the Azure bill. In order to configure a SaaS subscription object, because it causes additional costs to be included on the subscription, the user completing the configuration must be a subscription owner.
A new Entra ID application registration specific for Nerdio Manager's billing is also created automatically as part of the resource deployment. This application is granted the below permissions in order to authenticate as your user on behalf of your Azure tenant, and register the SaaS subscription object as being tied to your Azure subscription. These permissions allow the billing application to inform Nerdio Manager's licensing service the following details:
-
Who is completing the purchase.
-
Which SaaS subscription object is used for billing.
-
Which Entra ID tenant you are connecting from.
Note
These are the same permissions being granted to the billing application as are granted to the primary Nerdio Manager application above.

Once the Nerdio Manager application is installed, there are several configuration actions that can be taken inside of Nerdio Manager to "link" it to existing Azure resources or create new ones. These actions require the requesting user (that is, the user signed in and performing the action via Nerdio Manager) to have certain permissions on the Azure resources that are being used.
When the Nerdio Manager application is installed and configured, no user permissions in Azure are required to manage the configured AVD environment via Nerdio Manager. Most actions in Nerdio Manager run on Nerdio Manager on behalf of the signed in user.
Note
There are several RBAC roles available. See Role-based Access Control (RBAC) in NME for details.
Nerdio Manager has two editions: Core and Premium. The Nerdio Manager Premium edition has all the features found in the Core edition, plus many others.
Please see our website for details about the features and pricing.
Warning
Downgrading from Premium to Core could result in loss of functionality. For example, advanced cost optimization features are not supported in the Core edition. Therefore, if a customer downgrades to Core, and they were making use of features such as Azure Capacity Extender, these features are no longer available
Nerdio Manager allows you to change your edition at any time.
To change your edition of Nerdio Manager:
-
Navigate to System > Settings > Nerdio.
-
In the Product edition area, select the Product edition name.
-
Review the confirmation pop-up.
Tip
When downgrading to Core, the confirmation pop-up displays a detailed list of the functionality you lose access to. Be sure to review it carefully before proceeding.
-
When you are ready to change your edition, select OK.
Your edition of Nerdio Manager is changed.
Note
Prior to version 6.0 of Nerdio Manager, customers could purchase either the Standard or Premium editions of the product. The licensing options described above only apply to new Nerdio Manager installations for version 6.0 and later.
In order to continue using Nerdio Manager past the trial period, you must subscribe to our billing offer listed on the Azure Marketplace. This allows Nerdio Manager to report usage to Azure Marketplace. Based on your usage, you are charged for Nerdio Manager on your Azure bill from Microsoft.
Note
Activating your subscription also creates a new app registration in Entra ID. By default, this is named NerdioManagerForWVD-Subscribe. This application is granted Azure API permissions allowing you to authenticate and subscribe to the license. For more details, see Azure Permissions and Nerdio Manager.
To activate the Nerdio Manager subscription:
-
Sign in to your Azure portal as a subscription owner of the subscription where you plan to install the billing offer for Nerdio Manager from Azure Marketplace. The subscription you select can be different from the subscription where you installed Nerdio Manager for Enterprise.
-
In the search box, enter Nerdio Manager.
-
In the Marketplace section of the search results, select the Billing subscription to Nerdio Manager Enterprise option.
-
Enter the following information:
Note
You may see the Price/payment frequency list a $0.00/month price plus a Monthly Active Users charge of $3 /user/month. Further, the Subtotal shows $0.00 for 1 month. You can safely ignore this portion; the charges listed in Price/payment frequency are for our internal billing system. Your pricing is based on whether you sign up for the Core edition or Premium edition as detailed in the Plan portion on the same screen. Continue the process and a subsequent page gives you the option to sign up for the edition of your choosing.

The cost of the feature depends on its usage. The cost is per tokens used, with costs varying depending on which model is chosen and how much it is used.
If the feature is enabled but not used, there is no standing cost.
LLM implementation work with tokens. The number of tokens is a combination of system prompt, input from user, and output from LLM. The number of tokens defines how much “memory” about a previous exchange in the current conversation the bot has. If a conversation is long, larger than the max token count configured for the model, older data is dropped. However, we expose all the chat history in the UI until the chat history is deleted using the delete history button.
By default, Nerdio Copilot deploys all resources in the same region. Azure OpenAI resources can be created in different regions, based on user’s selection. When possible and applicable, we deploy the free or the lowest paid tier resources; this is not configurable.
Nerdio Manager supports the ability to configure schedules for tasks.
The schedule can contain one or multiple entries, as shown in these examples:

Nerdio Manager allows you to create recommendation and filtering rules to assist with the selection of VM sizes and OS disks when creating host pools or adding session host VMs.
Resource selection rules can be used to suggest the best VM for a specific AVD use-case, while taking into account core availability. They can also be used to limit the types of VMs and OS disks that can be used globally in a workspace, or even at the host pool level.
The VMs can be filtered based on vCPU availability in a selected subscription and region, processor, VM family & version, number of cores & GB of RAM, and local temp storage. OS disks can be filtered based on storage type (premium, standard, SSD, HDD, or Ephemeral) and disk size.
For example, when adding dynamic host pool, you can filter the VM Size or OS Disk choices by selecting the desired Resource Selection Rule(s).
