Windows Server 2012 Standard & Hyper-V VM Licensing
I purchased a Dell PowerEdge R720 with Windows Server 2012 Standard. I want to install Hyper-V, but have questions about licensing for two VMs. Do I need to purchase two separate Windows 2012 Standard licenses for each VM? I have a spare Windows Server 2008 R2 available, but I am not sure if may use it on this server, etc.
Windows 2012 will allow you to have 2 VM's with Windows 2012

So, let me make sure I understand the VM installation process. When I install each VM will it prompt me for licensing info? If so, can I use the same license for the host?
