Core Licensing, I’m feeling really dumb…

[Guest /u/YourVFGLooksNice]

Ok, no matter how much I read on this insane licensing model I just get more confused.

 

If I have a Windows 11 Enterprise desktop (8 core CPU), enable Hyper-V and install server 2019 Standard downloaded from VLSC, I technically need to buy Core AND CAL licenses right?

 

It works fine and says it’s activated by my organizations activation service. So are the core licenses just a “don’t get found in an audit” type thing? Or do I not need them? How the hell does it work and when exactly is it needed.

 

Sorry if this topic has been beat, but I couldn’t find an answer that explained when I searched the sub.

 

Thanks!
