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.</p><p>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.
