If its the standard version, you are only licensed for the host PC. http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...whitepaper.doc Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition Each software license allows you to run, at any one time, one instance of the server software in a physical OS environment and up to four instances of the server software in virtual OS environments on a particular server. Windows Server 2003 R2 Datacenter Edition (licensed based on the number of physical processors in the server) After the appropriate number of licenses are acquired and assigned, you may run o One instance of the server software in the physical OS environment, and o Any number of instances of the server software in virtual OS environments -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. |
