How many licence for Windows Server 2012R2 in hyper-v cluster base on free Hyper-V Server 2012R2

Hi
I build cluster consist 4 nodes (2 procesors, 4 core per procesor=8 virtual processors per node). I installed free Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 on each node and created cluster.
I've got one Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. How many VMs (with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standrard as OS) can I run on this cluster using this DVD? 1, 2 or none?
Thank you in advance
Tomasz

The detail here is this:
You are asking about the 'virtual instance granting' license.
- this only applies if Windows Server is installed on the bare metal with the Hyper-V Role added. (regardless of the edition)
- this only applies to licensing, it does not limit the number of VMs that you can run.
- If there is a cluster, all nodes should be the same edition to remove any licensing ambiguity.
This is strictly OS licensing for the VMs and has absolutely nothing to do with how many VMs you can run:
Most likely your hardware will run out of physical resources before you reach the maximums outlined here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj680093.aspx
If you have a cluster - there can be a maximum of 8,000 running VMs
If you have individual Hyper-V Servers there can be a maximum of 1,024 running VMs
Do the math - you would need a minimum of ~8 cluster nodes to touch that 8,000 number.  But as you add nodes, you don't add HA VM capacity.  But you can run a combination of HA and non-HA VMs up to a the maximum of 1,024 running VMs per node. 
In other words, mix and match if you want to push the boundary.

  • How many licenses for Windows 7 via both Boot Camp and either VMware Fusion or Parallels on the same MacBook?

    This concerns a white MacBook running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
    If I install Windows 7 on my MacBook with Boot Camp, and then use either VMware Fusion or Parallels to access that Boot Camp partition, will I need to buy two Windows licenses from Microsoft?
    I had not anticipated this, but when calling VMware and Parallels to check out the tech support services of the two companies, the person at VMware mentioned that I would need two licenses.  When I called Parallels, I then asked the person at that company whether two Windows licenses would be needed.  That person told me that only one license would be necessary.
    I then called Microsoft.  The representative there told me that my question could not be answered by Microsoft because that company does not provide support for users installing Windows on Apple computers.
    After that, I called Apple.  The Apple representative was not familiar with this type of issue.  She mentioned the possibility that the VMware Fusion and Parallels products might be different, and that that might be why using the former would involve two licenses and using the latter would involve only one license.
    Has anyone had experience with installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp, and then accessing that Windows 7 installation from VMware Fusion or Parallels?  If so, did you have to buy two Windows licenses?

    One license. You may have to re-register Windows online when you start it up in Parallels because Windows sees that it is now running on new hardware (virtualized) and thinks it has been installed on a new computer. If the online re-registration does not work, just call the registration number and go through the automated registration process. Once re-registered then use Windows from Parallels. If you are also installing MS Office in Windows you will need to go through the same process again for registering Office.
    The process is automated, simple, and free. You have made the process more complicated than it is by calling Apple, Parallels, and Microsoft when there is an automated MS registration number to call.

    Um, I don't know that there's any. I mean, there could be, but as far as I know, the rights management has to do with the file and the reader, not the download server. If you want to prevent downloads by unregistered users, there's plenty of info out there on securing your web site. But once the file is downloaded, it can be given to anyone, and your web server has nothing to do with that. That's where the DRM stuff comes into play.

  • How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support?

    How many licences does Final Cut Studio Support? Its the latest one (3) btw. The one that has FCP 7
    Any input is highly appreciated

    It can be installed on (1) desktop and (1) laptop, and you cannot use them at the same time. The idea is that you use the application when you are in your office, and if you need to go on the road, you can use it there, while the one in the office is not in use.

    It depends on the uses you give to your computer, because the battery will have capacity for less time if you are using professional apps than using Safari.

  • How many licences with Student and Teacher Edition ?

    Hi, I am seriously thinking of becoming an independant tutor.
    So, before making all the formalities, I am searching a clear answer on a simple question :
    I would like to know if I buy a Student & teacher Edition, on how many computer can I use the Softwares ?
    I mean, if I have 5 students which follow my lessons, can I install the Creative Cloud on all the 5 computers they use with only 1 subscription ?
    Or do I need to pay the subscription 5 time ?
    Thanks

    Excuse me, but I'm not a native english, so some words are difficult to understand.
    If I qualify and choose the Creative Cloud for Teams for Education, can I install my licence on my 5 future computers ?
    Or do I need to buy multiple licences ?

  • How many disk for redundancy on Grid Infrastructure 11gR2 Installation?

    I would like too know, How many least disk for normal and high redundancy ?
    and please explain to me about structure of normal redundancy & high redundancy.
    Edited by: user13049841 on Mar 15, 2011 2:37 AM
    Edited by: user13049841 on Mar 15, 2011 2:37 AM

    Redundancy Level      Minimum Number of Disks
    External           1
    Normal                2
    High                3
    If you only have a disk, means you will not be able to implement normal/high redundancy. In external redundancy ASM presumes the data duplication is taken care at a storage level (e.g. mirrored SAN etc.).
    structure of normal redundancy & high redundancyRedundancy is actually a data duplication, so let say if a disk in a Disk Group1 fails, and there is a fail over Disk Group B, so ASM will continue operation.
    Must read note for you..
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28301/asm002.htm#ADMQS12079
    Extractions from the link..
    Failure groups are used to determine which ASM disks to use for storing redundant copies of data. example, if 2-way mirroring is specified for a file, ASM automatically stores redundant copies of file extents in separate failure groups.

  • How many licenses for desktop and laptop, both in dual-boot environment?

    Good evening.
    My scenario is pretty simple. I own a desktop PC and a Laptop, both running Windows XP and Windows 7 in a dual-boot environment. Let's say I want to have Adobe Photoshop on both machines, all four boots, how many licenses do I have to purchase?
    Thank you.

    Hi, you can install Photoshop CS5 on as many computers as you want, but it can only be activated on up to two instances at a time.
    So if you had a single license, you would have to choose which boots you'd want Photoshop running on, and then move the activation between them, if that worked for you.
    With two licenses, you could activate and run it on all four boot instances at once, no problem...  You wouldn't have to continually switch or change the activations between systems.
    This is an improvement in flexibility on how it used to be - until recently, Adobe had a limit on how many cumulative reactivations you could perform with your software license.
    If you are going to buy more than one license, you might want to take a look at Adobe Volume Licensing, which gives a price discount plus the ability to run a single copy of the software with a single serial number on all machines and platforms (Windows and/or Mac) that you own, and expand if you need to.
    Hope this helps!
