Licensing of Windows Server 2019

I am thinking about buying a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter license, but I have a few offers to choose from. Namely, this version of the system has many P / N in various sources, e.g. P73-08800, P73-07898, which have information on the emblem that they are Datacenter versions, but I often see the following that only feature the Standard version. I am asking for what product number should I use for me or the other software.

Yes, I read this page, but I got a quote from an authorized Microsoft reseller who offered me these products, but the emblem on the package says that these are sixteen-core licenses that include 2VM etc. To my knowledge, Datacenter has an unlimited number of deployed virtual machines. So please provide the exact product number of the official boxed version of the server 2019 datacenter.

Can you explain to me whether in this version of windows server I will be able to create more than two virtual machines and run them at the same time?

Why am I still getting information from multiple vendors that I can only create and run up to two virtual machines in this release?

All I can tell you is;

  • 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.

You can also call a microsoft sale office directly.

Can you see it P73-08800. My Microsoft dealers with whom I work with told me that although it is a Datacenter license, it only has the features and capabilities of the Standard edition. Can you tell me if they are wrong? Since I called Microsoft in my country and they couldn't answer that question, they just told me to contact the reseller. I have been looking for answers for several days and no one can answer them.

Sounds like it. This is an excerpt from a microsoft licensing datasheet.
- 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.

If the product you're purchasing were OEM then the OEM is bound under contract with microsoft to provide support for the products they sell so you'll also need to ask them for a copy of the products' EULA
