Windows 10: Is something wrong with MS licencing servers?

Hello, Our company bought 2 brand new NUC computers, they had preinstalled windows 11 Pro's. They have on their backside scratchable activation key's. Previously everything worked with other NUC's. Even if something was wrong, one could always activate OS via phone. Now when automatic validation failed with error message that this validation key is already used, i tried to do phone one, to find out that now phone robot asks you to type in phone 3 digit number it tells, to get message that you typed wrongwhich i didnt. Anyone have idea, whats wrong? It started yesterday and today same thing

MS SQL server licence

1) I have 2+ hardware hosts with vmware virtualization, and i have 3 virtual MS SQL servers. Can i migrate all 3 MS SQL servers on one hardware host and use only one MS SQL enterprice licence for 3 separated MS SQL servers. Or i need to buy 3 MS SQL licence
for each MS SQL server?

2) Also do i need a licence for test-servers.

 

Windows Server Licencing

Good day,

I've read up on a couple of blogs online regarding server/virtualization licencing but am now even more confused than before I started.

This is what we want to do:

We have a Physical server with the following specs located in a data center which we want to use for Hyper-V:

- Sockets = 2

- Cores = 8

- Logical Processors = 16

The physical server will be loaded with Server 2016 Standard but not the core version as we need to load more roles on it.

We want to load 3 virtual machines also with server 2016 standard in Hyper - V.

If we do it through volume licencing, how many licences do we need to purchase to cover the Hyper-V server as well as the virtual machines?

Is there a post or something that can simplify the MS Licencing as it seems I'm not the only one that this is confusing to..?

Thank you
