Hyper-V Licensing - Host Product Key and VM Use
I have a server with a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise license on it. I understand it will allow unlimited VM's ( barring resources) under license using it's product key but can I install Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition in the VM's or does it have to be the same edition to use the host product key?

irweazelwallis, I do not know the kind of license as this server is provided by a hosting provider, they have agreed to allow the key to be used in the VM's. I assume they have a volume license.
