Hello,
First time posting, please excuse my poor english
I have trouble activating Hyper-V virtual machine using the 2 VMs allowed by windows server 2022 standard licence of my host. Here is what I'm working with:
As AVMA is not available on windows server standard edition, I figured I should be installing the license key mentionned above in the Hyper-V nested VM so it can be activated as stated in the microsoft pricing page.
I Tried installing it with slmgr.vbs or dism.exe but for both of these methods, when I check the activation status, the error code 0xC004C020 tells me that the licence has run out of possible activations.
As I only licensed 2 instances of windows server as hosts for hyper-v, I should be able to activate 2 hyper-v instances of windows server standard within each of them.
Am I missing something here? Is the fact that hyper-V hosts are virtual machines forbid me to activate hyper-V nested VM with the same license key? Is it something about promiscious mode or forged transmits mode on the esxi vswitch?
Thanks in advance if you have any hint to provide!

Hi Etienne,
Hope you're doing well. It seems that you are trying to activate a Hyper-V virtual machine using the Windows Server 2022 Standard license key. However, the error code 0xC004C020 indicates that the license has run out of possible activations. According to Microsoft's documentation, Windows Server 2022 Standard allows for two free virtual machine guest licenses. To activate these licenses, you can follow these steps:
