Can someone chime in on how Licensing woudl work when using AHV? For example, we currently have Windows 2012R2 Datacentre edition on each host and we have the ability to have unlimited licensed Windows Servers virtualised. I know that AHV doesn't require a license but does that mean that a license for each Widnows Virtual Server will need to be purchased hence invalidating our Datacentre license???

Thats a loaded question, but the short answer is it would work exactly the same as all other non-hyper-V hypervisors. Meaning thats a question best answered by Microsoft's licensing teams, nothing to do with AHV, just ask them about non-Hyper-V virtualization. That said, anecdotally ... From what I've practiced when I was an admin, to what I've seen/read/heard, you would have to "entitle" each host with a license, if its a per server license, or per socket/core if you purchased the licenses that way. That "entitement" gives you virtualization "rights" to run the OS instances on top of that entitled physical host/socket/core

To expand on what Jon said, and because we just recently "trued up" our licensing... Microsoft always gets paid if you run Windows guest VM's, regardless of what underlying hypervisor your have. You can either buy a datacenter license and run Hyper-V on each host and run unlimitied guest Windows VM's on it, you can buy a datacenter license and run another hypervisor on each host and run unlimited guest Windows VM's on it, or you can run another hypervisor on each host and buy Windows Standard licenses for each guest VM. It's been a while since I ran the numbers, but the concensus for the break even point between datacenter and standard seems to be around 7 and 10 guest VM's in Server 2012 R2***, depending on the deal you get on your license. Most people probably have many more than 10 guest Windows VM's on their host so datacenter licensing is pretty common. ***Microsoft is changing to core based licensing for Server 2016 which will probably result in a net increase for most customers since most servers now have > 16 cores per host. This will probably further skew the "break even" point vs the socket based licensing through Server 2012 R2. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/product-licensing/windows-server-2016.aspx We have 24 cores per host in most of our hosts and it resulted in a substantial increase in SQL licensing costs for us, since it also swapped to core based licensing. Having more cores means we can run more SQL boxes per host as well, so whether the net result was a cost increase per guest SQL VM is questionable. Regardless, it was a "surpise bill" for accounting. Summary: run the numbers but you'll most likely be buying or using datacenter licenses to cover your hosts, regardless of hypervisor.

用户使用AHV时许可单词工作方式

举个例子,目前Windows2012R2数据中心版对每个主机都可实现无限许可Windows服务器虚拟化

AHV不需要许可证,但这表示需要为widnows虚拟服务器购买许可证,从而使数据中心许可失效?

问题加载,但简单回答是它与所有其他非Hiper-V超视像器完全相同意思是微软许可团队最好回答一个问题, 无关AHV, 问他们非HyperV虚拟化

说道传说中从我当管理员时所实践到我所见/读/听时,你将不得不向每个主机提供权限许可,如果它按服务器授权使用或按插件/核心购买许可使用entitent提供虚拟化权限运行OS实例

扩展Jon所说的话并因为我们最近刚“整理整理”我们的许可

微软 常态化开Windows客机付费不论底部高视器可购买数据中心牌照并运行每个主机超V并运行无限制客机WindowsVM牌照,可购买数据中心牌照并运行每个主机多视器并运行无限客机WindowsVM牌照,或运行每个主机多视并购买Windows标准牌照有段时间我发号施令, 但数据中心与标准间偶点的concensus似乎约7至10客机server2012R2***多数人主机上可能有十余位WindowsVM客机,

***Microoft正在转换核心验证服务器2016,这可能会导致大多数客户净增长,因为大多数服务器现在每个主机有 > 16核心这可能进一步扭曲 server2012R2对套接字许可

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/product-licensing/windows-server-2016.aspx

多数主机有24个核心并导致SQL认证费用大幅增加,因为它还交换核心许可拥有更多核心表示每个主机可运行更多SQL箱,因此净结果是否为客机SQLVM增费值得置疑管它呢算账费

汇总:运行数字,但你极有可能购买或使用数据中心许可覆盖主机,而不管超视像机

只需保留许可文件, 证明你拥有许可, 不需实际应用到AHV主机, 所有VM都使用数据中心密钥。至少这是MS审计师在我的老公司告诉我们的
