Hello,

I have bought this windows server license: Windows Server 2022 Standard - 16 Core License Pack‎.

I want to install on my host two windows server 2022 virtual machines. ( Actually one host with two vm guests). For those virtual machines do i need additional licenses to activate them?

    You did not mention the core count on your servers but at a minimum you'll need a 16 core license for each one in order to run two guest per host machine. The activation process is to use the host product key for activation of each of the two guests.
