Add VM to windows server 2008 r2 Enterprise
Posted on 2013-01-06
I have 4 VM on Windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise,which is the max for a single license.
If I want to host more than 4 VM, is it possible? Can I just add an additional 2008 standard which will enable me to have 2 additional VMs?
Thx!

Yes, you can buy a Server 2012 Standard license and you can run two more Windows VMs.
To be clear, you are NOT licensing virtual machines - you can have as many virtual machines as Hyper-V technology supports. You are licensing Windows operating systems to run in those VMs. So if you wanted this 5th VM to run Linux, you need NOTHING MORE.
