Core Based Licensing: Windows Server 2016 Standard & Datacenter All physical cores in the server must be licensed. Servers are licensed based on the number of processor cores in the physical server. A minimum of 16 core licenses is required for each server. A minimum of 8 core licenses is required for each physical processor. Core licenses will be sold in packs of two. Eight 2-core packs will be the minimum required to license each physical server. The 2-core pack for each edition is one-eighth the price of a 2-processor license for corresponding Windows Server 2012 R2 editions. Standard Edition provides rights for up to two OSEs or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For every two additional VMs, all the cores in the server have to be licensed again. The price of 16-core licenses of Windows Server 2016 Datacenter & Standard edition will be the same price as the 2-processor license of the corresponding editions of the Windows Server 2012 R2 version. Existing customers' servers under Software Assurance will receive core grants as required, with documentation. ...
