Question on VM licensing for Windows Server 2022 Standard

Question

I have a Windows 2022 Standard server hosting 2 VMs of Windows 2022 Standard. Currently am running with the eval version and need to know how to get keys to activate the VMs. Not sure what, if anything, I need to purchase for this. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Hello Tom Lindley1

The Windows Server Standard Edition license allows you to run up to two Operating System Environments (OSEs) or Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical server. This means that you can run two VMs on the same server using the same license.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I thought that Server Standard 2022 included up to 2 VMs based on this:

• Physical 🇲🇸 DVD Package Delivered By Mail
• Supports 1 Admin User / 1 Server
• 🇴🇪🇲/🇴🇪🇮 Licensing
• 16 🇨🇴🇷🇪 License
• 1 Server Installation
• Includes Two (2) Virtual Machines
• Virtualize by enabling the optional Hyper-V hypervisor role (included)
• Licensed for Home and Commercial Use
• Satisfaction guaranteed!
