Hi,

Is it possible to put Hyper v on my server. With two virtualized windows 2019 essentials servers installed . One will be used for AD the other will be used for File server. ( can i use the same product key?)

Thanks,

    If the host is Server 2019 DataCenter then you can. You can use AVMA to activate the guests.

    Thanks @Dave Patrick . I appreciate the feedback. Just to make sure I understood.

    1. A server with Hyper V installed can have two server 2019 essentials servers but must be individually licensed.
    2. The alternative is to install server 2019 data center and then I can use AVMA to license multiple windows 2019 essentials with 1 product key
