I am thinking about buying a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter license, but I have a few offers to choose from. Namely, this version of the system has many P / N in various sources, e.g. P73-08800, P73-07898, which have information on the emblem that they are Datacenter versions, but I often see the following that only feature the Standard version. I am asking for what product number should I use for me or the other software.

    Can you see it P73-08800. My Microsoft dealers with whom I work with told me that although it is a Datacenter license, it only has the features and capabilities of the Standard edition. Can you tell me if they are wrong? Since I called Microsoft in my country and they couldn't answer that question, they just told me to contact the reseller. I have been looking for answers for several days and no one can answer them.

    All I can tell you is;

    • Standard Edition provides rights for up to 2 Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For each additional 1 or 2 VMs, all the physical cores in the server must be licensed again.
    • DataCenter Edition provides rights for unlimited Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed.
