You can't split the licensed VMs between two different hosts. It doesn't matter what hypervisor you use.

In order to enjoy the 2 OSe, you will need to run them on a Windows server 2012 hyper-V host.The license Windows Server Standard license provides for virtualization rights of two Operating System Environments (VMs) per license. Its not 2 VMs per license.Its 2 VM per physical host.

Software assurance only comes in if you are upgrading version.

But you can have multiple licenses per host. п»їOSe vs Application : Do note that when you cluster servers, you will need duplicate licenses for OSe, SQL and other software licenses for each node. By right, you will be entitled to 7 +п»ї 1 OSe as per discussed above which can be used for 4 OSeВ +п»ї 4 OSe of the cluster nodes which may reside on either Hyper-V hosts.В However, you may want to get get a written confirmation from your authorised MS re-seller to confirm. AFAIK, the 2 nodes per Hyper-V host may not apply to the 2nd Hyper-V host. Furthermore, you may want to speak and get a written confirmation from your authorised MS re-seller to confirm about the licensing with Hyper-V or VMware etc.Д¬lustering :В Every Active-passive or Active-Active cluster requires MS OSe license per node. you may want to see if they are 'per seat' or 'per processor'. Paper License : If you mean you bought a non-OEM, retail pack or EA/SA. I am sorry that I missed a few details.about the 'paper license' and clustering. What do you mean by paper license? OEM? Open License? That gives you however many VMs you want per host with 2 CPUs. Cost wise, once you hit the requirement of six standard licenses per host, you might as well move straight to Datacenter Edition w. For example, on two hosts each running 6 VMs, each host is required to have licenses for 12 VMs (6 x Windows Standard with SA).Д¤. In addition, FOC requires that each host maintains enough licenses to accommodate all the VMs in the cluster. That means VMs can move back and forth between hosts as needed without being subject to the 60 day ban described above.ДЈ. In a failover cluster (FOC) scenario, you need Software Assurance on each of those licenses to ensure 'license mobility'.

For licensing purposes in this case (running WinServer VMs), it doesn't really matter whether you go with free Hyper-V or full Server 2012 on the host - each Windows Server Standard license will cover the host plus two virtual instances - PER TWO CPUs!!! So, if you're planning to run 6 Server VMs on a host with 2 CPUs, you'll need 3 Standard licenses, 7 (or 8) require 4 Standard licenses.On a host with 4 CPUs, you obviously double that.Дў.
