    Hello Pradap,

    Please find answers to question 1 below.

    1.Which Version of Visual Studio should be installed? See blog post @ community.dynamics.com/.../the-new-dynamics-ax-and-visual-studio-licenses

    2.In Which Machine should I install the Visual Studio? See Nikolaos & Sohaib response.

    3.What is the connection mechanism with AOS application and Visual Studio? Can you give us some more details for this question?

    I updated this post and removed my answer to question 2 because it was incorrect. Nikolaos & Sohaib have the correct response to this. Only Microsoft pre-built DEV machines should be used for Development in D365FO.

    As far as I know, development in D365FO should always be done with the pre-configured onebox virtual machines. You can deploy them to cloud or host them on premises, but no software installation is needed.

    [View:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/deployment/on-premises-overview]

    "The development experience continues to be the same as in cloud deployments through 1-box VHDs."

    Whether its a cloud box or on-prem, the ready pre-built DEV machines are available for download as well as for deployment on cloud. You should not worry about version of Visual Studio. All you should do is to sing-in for VS account that will validate License for your VS. if you want to license that with Keys, without sign-in, that option is also available. also, you should not worry how connection is done between VS and AOS. It is something already done, by Microsoft.
