If the two virtual machines will run on same host then a single Server 2019 Standard license will work.

Some general info

  • Each host needs to be licensed.

  • A minimum of 8 core licenses is required for each physical processor and a minimum of 16 core licenses is required for each server.

  • Core licenses are sold in packs of two.

  • Standard Edition provides rights for up to 2 Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For each additional 1 or 2 VMs, all the physical cores in the server must be licensed again.

  • DataCenter Edition provides rights for unlimited Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed.
