This is what I see online: Unlimited virtual machines and Hyper-V Container
Does this mean that on my server ( 24 cores - 64 GB RAM) that I can install Windows Server 2016 Datacenter on that PC, Activate the Hyper-V server role and run all the Server 2016 VM's I want? Without buying a bunch of licence keys?
Update: Its 12 cores, 24 threads. 2x 6 core Xeons with Hyperthreading.

Datacenter version supports all the VMs under the required license of the host machine, which is still one license per two cores. So if you have a 24-core system, you will need 12 licenses.
