I’ve spoken to a lot of people who have expressed a lot of confusion about the OS licensing model when virtualizing systems using Hyper-V products.
There are some simple guidelines to observe when planning your Hyper-V infrastructure to take advantage of the licensing models for each edition of Windows Server 2008.
First, a term definition: Microsoft uses the term “OSE” to refer to an operating system environment, either physical or virtual. Also, Microsoft refers to a “processor” in the context of a single processor socket on the motherboard. This calculation is not affected when considering multiple core processors or hyper-threading capabilities on certain processor types.
