Windows 2008 enterprise replacement by 2012 std?


hello,

in past we've used 2008 enterprise licenses run 4 virtual servers on our dual cpu socket systems (hp dl380g8).

since microsoft abandoned enterprise version in 2012 confused new licensing guidelines.

if want put 4 virtual machines on 1 physical server dual cpu need, understand should be:

2x windows 2012 std edition (since 1 standard edition alows 2 virtual guests)

but true? want keep legal microsofts licensing policies change nobody knows anymore.

thanks in advance.

that correct, need 2 windows 2012 standard licenses legally run 4 virtual instances on machine.
