Activating all versions of Windows Server without a product key – MS Guides

To download, go to this link. Docker Inc. We wrote a post s about licensing costs rising in this release. Microsoft announced the Windows Server licensing in December , where per-core licensing rather than the per-CPU licensing will be used.

Well, today, modern CPUs carries more cores than in the past, so if Microsoft has decided on per-core licensing, it is not for nothing. More cores will require to you to give more money to Microsoft…. Licenses for servers with 8 cores or less per proc will be same price as the R2 two-proc license price. Core licenses will be sold in packs of 2 for incremental licenses needed above the required 8 cores per proc. Core licenses will be sold in packs of two licenses. Each processor will need to be licensed with minimum of 8 cores which is 4 two-core packs.

Each physical server, including 1 processor servers, will need to be licensed with minimum of 16 cores which is 8 two-core packs. Additional cores can then be licensed in increments of two cores one two core pack for gradual increases in core density growth.

Standard Edition provides rights for up to two virtual OSEs when all physical cores on a server are licensed minimum of 8 cores per proc and 16 cores per server. Our Simulation table based on supposition so far, as no exact guidelines on licensing has been released so far — since december :.

It is pretty much clear that Microsoft, whether you’re planning to deploy new servers for virtualization, which will have a lot of cores, then you’ll have to probably pay more than you had to in the past.

It may be interesting to compare Microsoft and VMware licensing side by side, when the official licensing docs will be made available to the masses. This post will get updated with more information when they become available. Connect on: Facebook. Feel free to network via Twitter vladan. Finally Microsoft released Windows Server I was eagerly waiting for this windows server I doubt activation folks know the answer.

What happens is most call up, and they tell the customer the license key been activated and used – they are told to then purchase another. I don’t blame those folks on the other end. There is a “lack” of this knowledge in the general server community. I mean, it is difficult for people to keep “up to speed” on these issues. And not only is licensing confusing, but usually as exciting as watching paint dry! The simple matter is that VM’s activations are included in server for “free” or better said part of the package purchase.

This has been the case since server , and before that I don’t know. The issue is HOW to activate those free editions without having to chew up license keys. A bit surprised of the lack of “widespread” knowledge of the free instances of server included with a single standard license – but regardless, the issue is what key one is supposed to use for such activations.

You phone up the license folks and ask why the key is not working they going to tell you its already been used – and as homer Simpson would say:. It as noted “most” likely one is to use a AVMA automatic license key and EVEN use that key in the case where you not using automatic license activation but then that begs the question how does it limit one to 2 activations?

Anyway, I will have to “jump” into this next time a server is being setup – and it is not that often per year. I was hoping the simple and widespread knowledge of the additional free licenses and how to activate them for the standard edition of server had been absorbed by the community – it likely that server still quite new. I willing to bet that over time this knowledge and question will become widespread knowledge – it just a bit early in the learning curve and server still quite new to the community – and it a VERY boring issue!

I don’t consider “licensing” a issue for the support community! Use the key that came with your software.

If it does not work the error code or message may be helpful or call the activation center for further help. Not sure if you ever got a straight answer to the activation issue. And you use the same key you use when installing the Hyper-V Host. Auto activation failed, the activation screen had an error code listed and would not let me change the key, so I had to do it manually. This link was helpful in resolving the issue. After the reboot you open a cmd prompt again and enter.

No wasted licenses. Windows Standard OEM product key from label was used to activate physical server and same key was used to activate two VM Server running on this server.

I just entered product key in GUI no any cmd voodoo. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Resources for IT Professionals. Sign in. United States English. Ask a question. Quick access.

What happened or what errors did you get?

Do the guests have internet access? Yes guests did have internet. If a retail license I’d call them here. Kallal 0. But it is supported in terms of licensing unless you been in some cave without internet!

The question not the above well known issue – but how one activates those additional free instances of server allowed as VM’s I suspect that using the command line method as Nedim below points out. Albert D. Thank you and all others here for the suggesting. You phone up the license folks and ask why the key is not working they going to tell you its already been used – and as homer Simpson would say: Duh!!!

Appreciate the comments and efforts here – thank you kindly. I’ll get to the bottom of this one way or another! Albert, Not sure if you ever got a straight answer to the activation issue. Thursday, May 4, PM. Thank you! VHD that comes from Dell.
