The attachment of SA to the server license does not change the reassignment count-down clock. Although SA includes license mobility that allows customers to move Microsoft server-based applications into off-premises hosted data centers, it is important to keep in mind that customers cannot reassign a Windows Server license to a hoster's server that's being used in a multitenant scenario.
Prices given here are for the U. Open License program list prices, which are generally the highest prices a U. The effective price is the same as WS R2, but unit prices are different—WS R2 Datacenter covers one processor and costs half as much as the WS Datacenter license, which covers two processors. Given the new pricing, stacking WS Standard licenses is more cost-effective for small or moderate virtualization loads; otherwise, Datacenter is the better choice.
On a server with two processors, Datacenter is less expensive if the organization plans on running 11 or more VMs on the server. On a server with four processors, Datacenter is more cost-effective at 21 VMs or more. Windows Server is currently available as a Release Candidate and will likely be generally available before the end of The Windows Server Web site is at www.
Windows Server R2 licensing was covered in the Nov. The Windows Server R2 Web site is at www. Skip to main content.
Windows Server Editions and Licensing Changes. Edition Simplification In the past, technical features were a key differentiator between server editions. Licensing Model Changes As with previous versions of Windows Server, licensing WS Standard and Datacenter editions still generally requires licenses for servers as well as for the client users or devices that access servers.
Downgrade Rights Many organizations purchase a license for a current version of Windows Server and then exercise downgrade rights to deploy a previous version, typically because a critical application is not yet supported on the current version. License Reassignment Unchanged The rules for reassigning licenses are unchanged.
Availability and Resources Windows Server is currently available as a Release Candidate and will likely be generally available before the end of Related Content December 29, Licensing Reference Set. Summarizes knowledge to determine which Microsoft licenses an organization needs to buy and the best way to purchase them. Choose the applicable license program and click Next. This change tossed many like myself for a loop as I could not find any documentation on how to do what was once a 5 minute task.
If you are installing on the same server you are physically logged into then the server should be there by default. Once the installation checks are completed choose to allow or not your server to restart automatically if required as part of the install and click Deploy. This will show you the Overview with the status and settings for your terminal server.
If you plan to install the licensing services locally on this server click the RD Licensing icon in the 'deployment overview' window. Then follow the instructions to install the licensing service locally and add your purchased licensing. If you have more than one TS like I do you will want to use a Licensing server.
This allows you to share your client TS licenses across all of your terminal servers making it easier to purchase and manage your license needs.
Your licensing server will be contacted, verified and added to the list. At this point users should now be able to log into this server. Test your connectivity out with a regular user account and you should be good to go!
The process as been re-arranged and is very different when compared to previous versions, but once you get a grasp for where things have been moved to it still works very much the same as it always did. Question - is terminal services licensing similar to open licensing in that it's on a trust basis with Microsoft?
Don't really see where to add CALs. Absolutely not. Once you install RDS, you are in a day grace period for licensing. When you install licenses, it registers with Microsoft Clearing House. After step 11 above, if the License Server Manager role is not already installed, it will install it. You should then see them as active. Hi, I know this comment is coming a bit late but I've recently attempted this on Windows Server but it will not allow more than one person to connect at a time;.
Remote Desktop Connection Do you want to allow to connect to this machine? Click OK to disconnect your session immediately or click Cancel to stay connected. No action will disconnect your session in 30 seconds.
Did something change between R2 and - is it possible to have a traditional terminal server anymore? This might help. Open RD Gateway Manager.
Under configuration tasks click View or modify certificate properties. In the general tab make sure Allow maximum supported simultaneous connections. Or perhaps there is a limit set. Note the default is 1. Straight forward and to the point. Because there is feature parity between Windows Server R2 Standard and Datacenter editions, your decision will be based on your virtualization strategy, as virtualization rights are the only differentiator between the editions.
If your strategy calls for a highly virtualized environment, Datacenter edition will provide you with optimum flexibility because it allows for unlimited virtualization. This edition gives you the elasticity to add and move virtual OSEs across Datacenter licensed servers without needing to track the virtual OSE count on that server. If you purchase Standard edition today but find you need to expand the virtualization capacity of your licensed server, you can do one of the following: Purchase additional Standard edition licenses and assign them to the same physical server, giving you the rights to run additional instances of Windows Server.
The server must have the appropriate number of licenses assigned to it to ensure coverage of all of the virtual OSEs that are running at any given time. Purchase a Software Assurance Step-up license to Datacenter edition, changing the license to a higher edition that allows unlimited virtual OSEs.
To use this benefit, your underlying license must have Software Assurance. With the Windows Server R2 Standard edition licensing model, you can grow your virtualization environment by either buying a step-up license to Datacenter edition if you have Software Assurance, or by simply buying additional Standard edition licenses and assigning them to the same physical server.
For example, if you have a two-processor server and want to run a total of four VOSEs, you can purchase two Standard edition licenses and assign them to the same server. Additional examples are shown in the following table.
Windows Server R2. Windows Server R2 captures the experience Microsoft has gained from building and operating public clouds to deliver a highly dynamic, available, and cost-effective server platform for your datacenter and private cloud.
The following information provides an overview of your key licensing options. Licensing editions Compare features in all editions to determine the ideal solution for your virtualization and cloud computing needs.
Datacenter edition is ideal for customers who want to have a highly virtualized private and hybrid cloud environment.
