If I have one license for Windows Server 2008 Standard and want to run it in a virtual operating system environment, can I continue running it in the physical operating system environment?
A. Yes, with Windows Server 2008 Standard, you may run one instance in the physical operating system environment and one instance in the virtual operating system environment; however, the instance running in the physical operating system environment may be used only to run hardware virtualization software, provide hardware virtualization services, or to run software to manage and service operating system environments on the licensed server.
