What are the licensing considerations in a virtual machine environment?
A. It is important to understand your licensing rights and obligations when running Microsoft Windows Server and/or other Microsoft applications in a virtual machine environment. For details, see Microsoft Adapts Windows Server System Licensing to Virtualization Scenarios. In addition, it’s good to understand the licensing terms offered by independent software vendors (ISVs) for any software provided by those vendors. For more information on licensing considerations in these cases, you should consult with your ISV.
