Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Windows Server 2025 Datacenter and Standard?
Windows Server 2025 Datacenter provides unlimited virtualization rights, allowing you to run an unlimited number of Windows Server VMs on licensed hardware. Standard edition is limited to 2 VMs per license. Datacenter also includes advanced features like Storage Spaces Direct, Storage Replica, Shielded VMs, and Software-Defined Networking that are not available in Standard edition.
How many 16-core licenses do I need for my server?
You must license all physical cores in your server with a minimum of 16 cores per processor. If your server has two processors with 12 cores each (24 total cores), you need at least two 16-core licenses (one per processor). If you have two 20-core processors (40 total cores), you need two 16-core licenses plus one 8-core license (or four 2-core licenses) to cover all 40 cores.
Does this license include Client Access Licenses (CALs)?
No, this is a server license only. Client Access Licenses (CALs) are required for each user or device that accesses the server and must be purchased separately. You can choose between User CALs (per person) or Device CALs (per device) based on your organization's needs.
