For more information, see. Editions are differentiated by virtualization rights only two OSEs for Standard, and unlimited OSEs for Datacenter.
If you are having issues with activating your installation, here is an alternative solution: 1. Once the keys have been retrieved, they will be shown as the sincere on your screen. Note Note: Updates might be required on the KMS server to support activation of any of these newer clients. Step 2: In the search box, type Slui. This is because the rights are derived from the license you bought, and not the OS you are north. If these machines have four processors in each machine, things change, since you need a WS2012 license for every two processors.

Hi, With one Window server 2012 Standard activated license, I will get 2 VMs. So is there a limit with Windows Server 2012 standard license I can stack and the the number of VMs I can create on one server or across servers virtual environment. Consider that all Windows server 2012 standard licenses are activated. If there is no limit on VM creation by add Standard license then why did Microsoft come with Data center licenses with unlimited VMs. How does the standard license work on Vmware environment. Is there a limit on the number for VMs that we can create. Windows Server licenses are assigned to the physical hosts, not to VMs. A single Standard Edition license grants you the right to run up to two Windows Server VMs concurrently on a given host. There is no limit to the number you can create other than storage of the host , but the license grants you the right to run up to two Windows Server VMs. You can also run Linux and client VMs, but their licenses would be covered under their licensing terms. If you assign another SE license to the same physical host, you now have the right to run up to four Windows Server VMs. If you continue to assign licenses to the host, when you reach five SE licenses, which grant you the right to run up to 10 Windows Server VMs, you would now be paying more for the SE licenses than you would for a single Datacenter Edition license. This can get really complicated to keep track of if you are making use of live migration in your environment, because legally you should be licensing each host for the maximum number of Windows Server virtual machines you will have on any node. This is why customers who are consistently running more that 8-10 Windows Server VMs on every host in their environment purchase Datacenter licenses - it costs less. Note that in the above description I never mentioned what operating system was installed on the physical host. That doesn't make any difference well, in a specific instance it does, but I'll ignore that for now. So, when running VMware's ESX operating system or Citrix Xen Server or a Linux KVM, the same licensing requirements exist. So if you assign a SE license to an ESX host, you have the right to run up to two Windows Server virtual machines. Assign two licenses to the ESX host, and you have the right to run up to four Windows Server virtual machines. A single Standard Edition license grants you the right to run up to two Windows Server VMs concurrently on a given host. There is no limit to the number you can create other than storage of the host , but the license grants you the right to run up to two Windows Server VMs. You can also run Linux and client VMs, but their licenses would be covered under their licensing terms.

Thanks for the detailed reply, it really helps understand the licensing requirements from a theoretical perspective. As I'm quite new to Windows server licensing, I am not sure how this is done practically. I am running Xenserver on a dual socket e5-2600 and have two Windows 2012 Standard Evaluation and would now like to promote these to full retail versions. Is this accomplished over the phone with microsoft? What information do I need to provide to license the physical host? Also, I am sure I am still required to insert activation keys for both VM's. Can you please explain this process to someone that hasn't done this before. I already read that article and to be honest I am not too worried about promoting the Evaluation versions. If need be I can reinstall the VM's, that's no big deal in my small environment. I have tried chatting with Microsoft and to be honest the rep was not helpful at all. He kept stating the obvious. Same with the retailers, they keep pointing to documentation that I've already read. I'm just interested in knowing how does Microsoft track my physical host licensing? Thanks again for the reply. No, it's a local record of your own. What information do I need to provide to license the physical host? Also, I am sure I am still required to insert activation keys for both VM's. Can you please explain this process to someone that hasn't done this before. Yes, you will need the relevant product key s and these are provided as part of your purchase of the license, by the reseller, or by MS when they set you up with the online VLSC website. You can do this via the Activation Wizard execute: slui. This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. I'm just interested in knowing how does Microsoft track my physical host licensing? This may surprise you a little, but, they don't really. This is the same kind of process used with Retail activation of Windows client editions and MS Office, where a hardware hash is generated, an Installation ID is calculated, and that is exchanged with MS servers.

Hi Don, I would like to clarify few things on this licensing, we are planning to move the server to windows 2012, from your explanation above, it seems that we use 2 Std edition we can have 4 VM with windows operating system. My question is the following: 1. You mentioned above that we have to add physical license to the host machine, how to do that? What i thought is to assign the VM with the product key that we have and just divide our selves i. We are planning to have the following: - Host machine to manage the VM - VM 1- VM 3 to use windows 2012 - VM 4 to use XP machine - VM 5 to use Linux machine How many licenses we need?

Hi Agus, for WS2012STD or WS2012DCE, each WS2012 license allows 2 x processors, so it does depend on how many processors your server has. As Tim says, if you will do lots of VMs, it becomes more economical to buy DCE instead of STD, at some point... WS2012STD permits 2 x VM each VM can run WS2012STD. For your example, assuming you have no more than 4 x processors, you could buy: 2 x WS2012STD 1 x WindowsXP?? This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions.

According to what you said, if i have one virtual host running standard version of windows server, with 2vms and i bought second set of license keys i don't have to do anything just set vms and activate them with those new keys? According to what you said, if i have one virtual host running standard version of windows server, with 2vms and i bought second set of license keys i don't have to do anything just set vms and activate them with those new keys? You don't buy keys, you buy licenses. A license is the right to run the software. They key is needed to activate the OS installation and legitimise it, but you don't add additional keys to the host if you want to run more guests or add more processors - but you do have to purchase the licenses to remain compliant with your license agreement. If you were wanting to add an extra processor e. This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. I was confused on licensing and key's part. Correct me if i am getting it wrong: If i had one server 2012 standard with its key, i could run it as a vm but not as a virtual host without having the license right? If i bought the single server 2012 standard license, i'd be able to install it as a Host and activate with the key and it'd give me rights to run 2vms on it and for those vms i would have to have 2 keys to activate after installing server 2012 standart software on them right? I am assuming we have 2 enterprise licenses for them, but if i wanted to run 4vms on each host, we have to buy 2 more enterprise licenses and install vm togerther with their keys? In this case, you can run 2 VMs, each VM is running WS2012STD. You can also run WS2012STD as the host hypervisor via Hyper-V. So, that's really 3 OS installations, on the same 2proc machine. The limitation is that the host hypervisor OS is only permitted to do Hyper-V stuff, it's not permitted to use that OS for anything other than hypervisor functions. If you implement in this way, you would only have purchased a single license for WS2012STD, so you would only have a single key, so you would use that key for the 3 OS installations. If i bought the single server 2012 standard license, i'd be able to install it as a Host and activate with the key and it'd give me rights to run 2vms on it and for those vms i would have to have 2 keys to activate after installing server 2012 standart software on them right? I am assuming we have 2 enterprise licenses for them, but if i wanted to run 4vms on each host, we have to buy 2 more enterprise licenses and install vm togerther with their keys? There is no Enterprise for WS2012? WS2012 has STD and DCE do you mean as in WS2008R2ENT? You can re-assign licenses from one machine to another machine under the Volume Licensing terms. I'm not sure about Retail terms, you should check that. This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. Thank you for clarifying all this burden for me. I am dealing with two different environments: One is failover cluster with both hosts running 2008R2 enterprise server versions and each host is hosting 2vms - this means each host can have max 4vms at any given time. In theory - i still can add one or two vms and activate without additional license for the host but it'd be violation of Microsoft's terms right? Second environment is, 2 standalone 2012 standard servers running Hyper-v and each host has 3vms - i did not do it, it was done by someone else. I am assuming that each server has 2 licenses assigned and one more vm can be assigned to each of them.

This is because the rights are derived from the license you bought, and not the OS you are running. Under the WS2012 license, virtualisation rights are based on the number of processors in the host machine, and, the number of licenses you purchased and assigned to that host machine. For WS2012, you need a license for every two processors. Each of these licenses permits you to run two instances of the OS. So assuming your second environment has two server machines, each with no more than two processors, each of these machines requires two WS2012STD licenses. This allows you to run up to four VMs on each host, plus HyperV on each host as the hypervisor-only. If these machines have four processors in each machine, things change, since you need a WS2012 license for every two processors. This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. S each VM host server has 2 CPUs. You can choose either STD or DCE. The decision of which license, is determined by the amount of virtualisation you want to do, and, the price you would need to pay to get the desired amount of virtualisation. The downgrade rights e. VL agreements especially if Software Assurance is attached allow very generous downgrade and upgrade rights. If you have a VL agreement, the Product Use Rights PUR define your downgrade rights. If you have a Retail or OEM WS2012 license, check the MSLT or EULA to confirm your downgrade rights. This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. Why would i need 4 WS2012 DTE licences? I spoke with Microsoft Support couple of hours ago and they said WS2012 license is downgradable and i should be good to install more VMS on my 2008R2 enterprise servers as long as i have those licenses - Two licenses in my case. We are getting our software from the source where it is relatively cheap and getting 2 WS2012 DTE server licenses not going to be a big hit for us. Dear All, I have some point misunderstand how license work for virtual machine. Currently, I have Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition is free 1 for virtual machine. Running AD DS it can be server 2008 or 2012 2. Running DPM 2010 I need to run on Windows Server 2008 is support 3. Running SQL Server 2008 I need to run Windows Server 2008 Should I buy Windows Server 2012 STD or 2008 STD? I wish to buy Windows Server 2012 STD because provide 2 free of Virtual Machine. Can I Windows Server 2008 in VM by using Windows Server 2012 license? BR, Khemarin Khemarin333 hotmail. If you purchase your licenses via a VL agreement, you get access to VLSC, and VLSC is where your keys and downloads are available for you to access. Depending upon the type of VL agreement you have, you may already have access to the correct keys and downloads. If that is the case, when you purchase, you just use the keys from your VLSC. Or have I misunderstood your question?
