Technically the license allows for 1 physical or 2 virtual servers. <br />
So if you install Hyper V on the host you can then install 2 - 2019 vm's

Common policy on EE is that licensing info should come from the manufacturer (Microsoft), though advice is often given here. &nbsp;My understanding is that Robert is correct with the qualifier that the host install should do nothing but be the host.

that information used to be correct. &nbsp;microsoft has since added <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started-19/vm-activation-19" rel="ugc">automatic virtual machine activation</a> and you use the appropriate product key from the linked document

As much as I was hoping it was going to be as easy as the Microsoft article stated, unfortunately it didn't work. &nbsp;I used the &quot;generic&quot; Windows Server 2019 Standard key and it still failed activation. &nbsp;<br />

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Here is the situation:<br />
I recently purchased a Dell server that had Server 2019 Standard pre-installed. Now it is my understanding that I can install Hyper-V and have 1 &quot;free&quot; install of Server 2019 Standard as a VM.<br />
Is that accurate?<br />
<br />
If so, where do I obtain the actual product key from? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thank you!!!

Server 2019 VM Licensing

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
