I am new to server licensing and virtual machines.
I manage a server running server 2019 standard edition. One uses a virtual machine (Virtual Box) to manage a specific software on ~25 client PCs. The server is running the standard edition of Server 2019, but the server license on Virtual Box is an evaluation edition that is about to expire. I understand that the Server 2019 license comes with two free virtual machines that can run the server software on it.
How can apply the standard license to the os on the virtual box machine? Or do I need to set up Microsoft's VM and migrate the contents of the Virtual Box over? I am thinking about using Hyper-v -

Hello @SiobhanRobinson-2122,
Unfortunately the activation for Virtual machines (called AVMA) only works for HyperV Clients you can read more about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/automatic-vm-activation
You will need to migrate to this hypervisor in order to apply.
Hope this helps with your query,
