We have Windows Server 2022 Datacenter core base license.

Can we use Windows Server 2022 Standard License as we get activation keys with Datacenter OS.

    Hello Vishal Korde

    You cannot use the Standard license on the same server where the Datacenter license is already installed. You can use the Standard license on a different server. Also, please note that the activation keys you receive with the Datacenter OS are only valid for the Datacenter edition and cannot be used to activate the Standard edition. You will need to purchase a separate Standard license for it.

    Hello Xiuyun Lian,

    Thanks update.

    I am providing more input on issue.

    We have Hardware Server, and it's all core covers with Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Edition.

    And using VMware hypervisor on it. Can we create VM with Windows Server 2022 Standard Edition activate with Keys received with purchased license, on portal both Keys are available - Datacenter & Standard.

    Is it cover under compliance?

    Thank You.
