I believe you will need a license for your test device as well.

And you can apply multiple Standard Licenses to machines, you get two vms for each license.

You are. If you purchas a VL they give you a MAK key to activate machines.

Because that with DC licensing you license capacity, not VMs. The idea that you have a "server licensed" doesn't exist.

But I can't just run a Windows Server in VirtualBox. It has to be licensed somehow, right?

Yes, you have to use a license on the machine holding virtualbox (bad idea never put a server on there except to test)

I think where you may be getting confused is that you don't physically install a license on the machine. You just have to have enough licenses to cover your use scenario to be legal.

Without DC you are still licensing capacity and not VMs, So If I had 2 WIndows Server VMs that could run on 3 hosts in event of a failure, I would have to have 3 Standard Server 2012 Licenses, one for each host, even though i only have two vms.

That's the scenario I would be in. 1 host that allows 2 VMs.

And even if you are running the Hyper-V Server with 1 VM, doesn't that need to be licensed somehow?

BTW: do you want me to move this to another topic since we've drifted so far?

1 Standard 2012R2 License will give you the ability to run 2 Windows Server VMs on a machine.

Doesn't matter to me one way or another.

@scottalanmiller Thats a shame.

I think this year I handled the time change better than others... i just had alot of Jameson the night before, then didn't care about doing anything the next day

@scottalanmiller Hopefully he has an actual RAID card.

@JaredBusch I think your theory is correct.

I use the unread mostly. I have the notifications on threads I create, or if I am "tagged" in a post.

I don't know about systemwide... i set mine like this from the beginning and they haven't changed

Uncheck follow topics you reply to

They are up now!
