    Windows Server 2016 Standard VM Licensing

    Hello

    I have a physical server that I already installed windows server 2016 on and activated using an OEM license.

    If I create 2 VMs using hyper V, can I activate the 2 VMs using the same license key I used to activate the physical server with?

    Second question, if I need two additional VMs, can I buy another Oem license, to activate the other 2 newly created ones and have a total of 4 activated VMs ?

    Windows Server Licensing within VMWare

    Hi all,

    I mostly understand how Windows Server licensing works, but there are several pieces of language that confuse me as to what exactly constitutes a virtual OSE(Operating System Environment) that needs to be licensed.

    Suppose that on a server running VMWare ESX/ESXi I have two Windows Server Standard VMs (thus requiring me to license all the cores in the server once over), and in addition am running other VMs (e.g. Windows 10, Linux, etc.).

    Is it true that those other VMs do not constitute OSEs that need to be licensed (via Windows Server Standard licensing)? That is to say, do I only need to purchase Windows Server licensing to cover those 2 VMs that are running Windows Server, without that
    affecting all the other VMs I am running?

    Thanks.
