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
