Microsoft’s minimum is 16 cores per server. This key comes in two sizes: for 16 cores and for 24 cores – choose the one above that matches your server. Before ordering, add up the physical cores of your processors; if the server has more than 24 cores, ask us and we will work it out with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClient access licences (CALs) are not included. Microsoft requires a CAL for every user and every device that accesses the server, plus an RDS CAL on top for remote desktop sessions. We do not carry CALs – you license those directly from Microsoft or through a volume licensing partner. We say so plainly here so the sums add up later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Datacenter edition allows an unlimited number of virtual Windows Server instances on the licensed host.
