How to Buy Pricing and licensing for Windows Server. Windows Server is the platform for building an infrastructure of connected applications, networks, and web services, from the workgroup to the data center. It bridges on-premises environments with Azure, adding additional layers of security while helping you modernize your applications and infrastructure. Get started with Windows Server: R2. Windows Server Essentials edition is a cloud-connected first server designed for small businesses with up to 25 users and 50 devices.

If you are considering installing any version of Windows Server Essentials, we would encourage you to consider Microsoft Hyper-V Server provides a simple and reliable virtualization solution to help organizations improve their server utilization and reduce costs. The latest release of Hyper-V Server provides new and enhanced features that can help you deliver the scale and performance needs of your mission-critical workloads.

Get started with Hyper-V Server: R2 In a production environment windows standard core is the best option, simply because there is less there for a hacker or virus to attack. As long as you are using Windows standard exclusively for its hyperv role you can install it without using one of your licences. This also will allow you to use features not available in the free hyper v server, provided that you can justify using them for the hyper v server roll. Brand Representative for StarWind.

Why do you want to have things complicated?!? Actually that’s not true. Hyper-V Server can not do anything much beyond being a hypervisor. Question here would be what would you do after all the stuff is setup i.

In case you are planning to have couple VM servers, you can build Failover Cluster. As good alternative, you can follow other route. StarWind Free will server as a shared storage for your cluster while your nodes will be running highly available VMs. I have 2 machines a R and R I am building out a new network for my Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Due to the size of our current building all officers were sharing 2 machines in one small office. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting.

Windows server 2016 datacenter hyper-v free

 

Hyper-V has always been free in the past and will continue to be free in Microsoft has hinted at no plans to ever charge for Hyper-V and due to market pressures from Xen and KVM, is unlikely to ever be able to consider it. Essentially Hyperv is free as a component of a Licensed Server. See the new Licensing for Server below:. NOTE: The licensing of Datacenter and Standard Edition will move from processors to physical cores, which aligns licensing of private and public cloud environments to a consistent currency and simplifies licensing across multi-cloud infrastructures.

Customers licensing servers with 8 cores or less per processor for Windows Server and System Center will pay the same extended amount unit price x quantity as they did when licensed for R2 based on the two-processor licensing model.

Hyper-V standalone is free and always has been. Its license agreement has some restrictions on how you can use it, but nothing too restrictive. Server comes with the ability to enable the Hyper-V role. This gives you the option of a GUI on your hypervisor install. It also brings all the licensing issues and costs associated with buying an instance of a Windows OS. No change there, either. Brand Representative for StarWind. There is no Windows Hyper-V server, and is inaccurate.

Microsoft Hyper-V Server is a stand-alone product that contains only the Windows hypervisor, a Windows Server driver model, and virtualization components. It provides a simple and reliable virtualization solution to help you improve your server utilization and reduce costs. Windows Server isn’t free, Windows Server costs money. Making up names for Hyper-V Server just adds more confusion.

They are very, very different. I only explaind that there is indeed a server for Hyperv as standalone and it is free the fact of the Windows or Microsoft name is semantic. It has always been free. If you read my post earlier you would have noted I explained very carefully that Windows VM will need to be properly licensed. Thanks though for the name clarification.

Selfstudy is an IT service provider. You must license every core Incase of on the host machine for your guest OSes. So you can’t just give the 4 cores and license only 4 cores.

You must license all cores on the host machine. So do i need to licence my host server on the processors or i just have to have a guest that has a windows license? Scott, I’ve been working on some clarity on licensing a Host for Hyper-V.

Question: If you use Server R2 to license a Host and use only the Hyper-V role on install – the act of doing so effectively gives you 2 licensed Server R2 guests.

In which case your “Hyper-V” does in fact effect your “guest”. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting.

OP bartsikora. Thank you for replies. Hyper-V the free hypervisor and Server whatever are different products. Spice 14 flag Report. It is. Spice 2 flag Report. Windows Server is not free, Hyper-V Server is free. Spice 1 flag Report. For example on my job that my company using it.

Your link is the proof: ” Microsoft Hyper-V Server Microsoft Hyper-V Server is a stand-alone product that contains only the Windows hypervisor, a Windows Server driver model, and virtualization components. Microsoft has never called any product Windows Hyper-V Server.

Theborgman77 This person is a verified professional. I think I know were you are going here. This is a thread about Hyper-V, not guests.

Hyper-V has no effect on guests. Guests VM licensing depends on the guest. Hyper-V is the “host” and there is no such thing as a Hyper-V license, so no matter what you install there will never become a Hyper-V license. Anything you put on top of Hyper-V has to be licensed as normal.

If you use Windows, you need licenses. If you want CentOS, there is no license. Linux doesn’t refer to anything specific. So it depends what Linux you get as to what your license situation is. But that it is Hyper-V is not a factor.

Hyper-V is never a guest, WIndows is always a guest. Hyper-V is always the host. When it comes to Windows licensing, Hyper-V is not a factor. Any question about Windows licensing that involves Hyper-V Under no condition should you ever “license the host”.

This just creates unnecessary limitations and overhead, it is a best practice to avoid this. There are no benefits, literally none. No matter how Hyper-V is installed or if another hypervisor is installed, Windows licensing is always the same Any talk of Hyper-V is a red herring.

This prevents you locking a Windows license to the hardware, which running as role does. Of course some will say – well I only have one server so I don’t worry about migrating, etc, etc. By not installing the full OS, you also have a smaller footprint for the hypervisor. You also make it much more difficult to break licensing by installing non hardware management stuff in a place that would then consume a license.

I expect that this is just a lab, so anything is really fine here. But there are major reasons why you want the “right way” even in a lab, so that you are prepared for doing it in production. If you do plan to run a server VM, then by all means, get the Standard which gives you license for two Server VM’s on one host. If you skipped the video Scott Allen Miller posted, go back and watch it, critical information in there.

The biggest difference between Hyper-V Server, Windows Server Standard and Windows Server Datacenter is licensing, as the hypervisor itself is exactly the same for all three distributions. There are differences among some host capabilities on the 3, such as Storage Spaces Direct is only available on Datacenter. And Hyper-V Server does not support most of the roles and features of Standard or Datacenter, but that is because of the way Hyper-V Server is licensed – those roles and features are removed to prevent the end user from violating the licensing of Hyper-V Server.

The free hyperv server is just windows standard core command line only, no gui. If you are learning hyper v I would install standard server with the gui desktop experience. There negligible performance different between gui and core installations.

This brings about tremendous security and mobility advantages for production workloads. Heavy lifting enterprise environments that are looking for dense virtual machine provisioning of Windows Server operating systems, customers will benefit by purchasing the Standard or most likely Datacenter licensing for Windows Server as Datacenter includes unlimited OS and container licensing running with Hyper-V isolation.

Irrespective of which edition of Hyper-V you choose to use in your environment, backing up your virtual machines is important. Learn more about Vembu Hyper-V Backup here. Follow our Twitter and Facebook feeds for new releases, updates, insightful posts and more. Previous Next.
