I have a Windows Server Standard license that allows for two virtual machines (VMs). What will happen if I attempt to create a third VM? Will the server allow me to create it but then indicate that it is unlicensed, or will it prevent me from adding the third VM entirely? Additionally, what is the maximum number of VMs that Windows Server Standard can support?
