Question about Windows Server 2016 Standard - 107475
Can Windows Server 2016 Standard also be installed twice virtually?
Unfortunately, this is not quite an easy question to answer. You may install and activate the Windows Server 2016 standard normally. Then install the hyper-v role and install and activate 2 more Windows Server 2016 standard (Guest). However, you are not allowed to install another role on the host. Now comes the complicated part... You may install more than 2 windows server 2016 standard as guest with
one licence. But that depends on how many CPUs and how many cores a cpu has that you install in a system. Threads do not matter. There is an overview here: www.software-express.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/WindowsSe...This means: 1 system with 2 CPUs and 4 cores each (i.e. 8 cores in total) allows 4 guest systems with a 16 core licence.
There are also 24 core licences. However, this is the 16 core version. I hope this should make it clear.
