Licensing In a Virtual Environment

Microsoft Windows Licensing In a Virtual Environment

Windows licenses are tied to physical host hardware, not the VM. This applies to any hypervisor.
-A Windows 2008 Datacenter Edition license entitles an unlimited number of Windows VMs on the host.
-A Windows 2008 Enterprise Edition license entitles up to 4 Windows VMs on the host.
-A Windows 2008 Standard Edition license entitles up to 1 Windows VM on the host.
