Product Note
Microsoft's physical-core licensing rules generally require at least eight core licenses per physical processor and 16 core licenses per server. Therefore, this 2-core pack is generally an incremental license component rather than a complete server license. Windows Server Standard permits additional virtualization rights when the server is relicensed for the required cores. Virtual-machine-based licensing has separate eligibility requirements. Windows Server Client Access Licenses (CALs) may also be required for users or devices accessing the server. Verify the offer terms and licensing requirements before purchasing.
