What are the licensing rights for the second Windows Server in SBS 2008 Premium Edition? Do you allow virtual machines?
A. Yes. You are granted a 1+1 license similar to a stand-alone Windows Server Standard license; that is, you may run one instance of the operating system on a physical or virtual machine. If you run on a virtual machine, you may run an additional instance of the operating system on a physical machine in order to run hardware virtualization software; provide hardware virtualization services; or run software to manage and service operating system environments on the licensed server.
