Windows Server 2012 licensing

conman

Hi

I'm just reading up on the licensing section for the 70-410 and I just need a bit of clarity around the licensing situation for Windows 2012 Server Standard.


Edition
POSE Instances
VOSE Instances


Standard
1
2




Does this mean that for each license I can have 1 POSE & 2 VOSE, or that I can have 1 POSE or 2 VOSE?

Thanks
Con

*When a customer is running all allowed virtual instances, the physical instance may only be used to manage and service the virtual instances. For information about licensing in virtual environments, see the Microsoft Volume Licensing Brief: Licensing Microsoft Server Products in Virtual Environments white paper.
**Essentials can be run in either a physical or virtual operating system environment "1 or 1."

Google "Windows Server 2012 Standard POSE VOSE" and have a look at the Licensing Data Sheet PDF at the top of the listings it might help you further... it's where I got the quote from

Was this type of question in the requirements? I didn't have anything like that on my exam. I would spend more time understanding upgrade paths and the like personally. That you will definitely see one or two of.

Good Luck on your exam!!

OK, thanks for the replies. I saw it on one of the MVA lesson exams, and it would be the type of question I would hate to get wrong. due to some poorly worded exam book.
