Nope! Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are two different products! R2 requires its own R2 Enterprise. For your existing 2008 (R!) you can install 4 2008 R1 OSes only (with SP1 or SP2)!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a quick question on Microsoft licensing(a degree required to understand it!). &nbsp;Does windows 2008 enterprise(oem), which is for a vmware environment cover you to roll out Windows server 2008 R2? &nbsp;My understanding that it does and allows for 4 vOSE's?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!<br />
