Product Note
This 2-core license pack does not automatically license an entire physical server. Microsoft licensing rules generally require a minimum of eight core licenses per physical processor and 16 core licenses per server when licensing by physical cores. Virtual-machine-based licensing has separate eligibility requirements and minimum core counts. Confirm the deployment model, existing license coverage, subscription terms, and any applicable Client Access License (CAL) requirements before purchasing.
