Answer 1

Hello there,

No, you cannot use a single Windows Server license key to activate multiple servers. Each Windows Server license key is typically associated with a specific server and allows for the activation of a single instance of Windows Server.

When you purchase a Windows Server license, it is usually tied to the hardware or virtual machine (VM) on which it will be installed. Microsoft's licensing terms typically require a separate license for each server or VM running Windows Server.

Using the same license key on multiple servers would violate the licensing terms and can result in licensing compliance issues. It's important to ensure that you have the appropriate number of licenses to cover each server or VM running Windows Server.

No GPT needed here to answer this. No, you cannot use the same product key to activate two different physical servers. Better option may be to ask the seller to exchange it for two smaller 16 core licenses.

Not sure what is meant? You cannot (legally) use the same product key to activate two different physical servers. Better option may be to ask the seller to exchange it for two smaller 16 core licenses.
