Windows 2008 Hyper-V - Licensing question

[Guest Jammy]

Hiya All,

In regards to licensing of Win08 for Hyper-V:

 

I am aware of the 1+4 rule for Windows Server licensing however in a HyperV

environment i am wondering:

1. Does the +4 rule include downgrade rights to 2003Std

2. Does each of the +4 require additional CAL's for connecting clients or

does the baseline determine CAL's across the 1+4 Rule

 

Cheers

Licensing questions should be directed to your reseller or MS directly. You

might look through the pages here;
