dang it, I've missed it again!

Thanks so much love this comparison

Did you notice the missing pixels in the sky? 😂

Thanks Alex for this video. Insightful as usual Samir

This is a lovely explanation. I will use this when people ask about my job 😊

Congratulations on the great work. I have a debt using vmware (bare metal) with windows server Standard. I need to license the virtual cores (vcores) or physical (host)?

Great Channel.......many things i had no idea. MS licensing is covulated

You do not need CALS for EAS that comes with software assurance

They likely got a good discount when they migrated everything. They can't and should not expect discounts every time they renew. The ask for more discounts while taking into account existing spend is not realistic. Would they offer discounts based off existing spend to their customers at every renewal? I highly doubt it. Talk to AWS or any other cloud provider similar to Azure. You will get the same deal. So at the end of the day the enterprise you are talking about is asking for more than needs to be given based off the market standard.

Yo ho ho, it's a pirates life for me

Thank you for such great and knowledgeable videos

Hi Alex How to buy a perpetual license (paid over a fixed term and perpetual license ownership) as opposed to the licensing model where you pay an annual cost indefinitely? This was an amazing video. I’ve watched it twice but unable to find answer to my question.

AI?

can you explain more bit confusing😅

3:12 most possible reason would be to catch as many (potential) customers as possible, and especially get those who still run on perpetual licensed products like Office. Lowering the entry obstacles gives more people ability to try the new hot sh*t :)

Awesome video, Let’s say I have 5 esxi hosts and 250 servers (VMs) how should I go about licensing those VMs. Windows server 2022 standard.

Hello, Do have a way to check if E5 Security and/or Compliance functionnalities are used ?

i was late but now im looking the video. thanks the video guys!

Thanks Alex for these videos, such eye openers. I wanted your advise on WS2022 licensing. I'm planning on building a new VMware cluster with 4 hosts, each has 2 CPUs with 16 cores each. There would probably be 60 VMs running in this cluster. What's the best way to license these VMs with Windows Server 2022 Standard? If I understood this, I can do 8 x Windows Server 2022 DataCenter 16-Core (through CSP) to cover all cores and use the license key to activate all WS2022 Std VMs! or would it be cheaper to buy WS2022 Std for each VM? and how many to cover all 60 VMs? mind you, I would be using 2 vCPUs for each VM, some would have 1 vCPU and others would have 4 vCPUs. much appreciated!

Thank you for the great video! Very clearly with examples. You are a passionate speaker sir, and therefore I had to stop and pause a few times and rewatch some of the videos LOL. Nevertheless, love the videos.

Could you please share a link from MS Website or document which confirms that System Center can be licensed on VM Level.

Thank you, i just sat with my licensing partner and even they where confused as to what the heck to do with our sql servers docker containers. This clarified things.

Microsoft has never sent to you (Service Provider) the copy of the verified LM form :D.

Question a device CAL is asign to a specific device and only that device? or it means that I can only form 1 device at a time, I mean I´m now on PC1 but tomorrow I´m on PC2 do I need a Device call for PC1 and another for PC2?

Don't use Microsoft SQL because of this reason It is proprietary and closed-source It is paid Just use MySQL or PostgreSQL

Sun? In the UK? Bro outed himself....

Yes. Yes he is

From a Windows admin since 1993: No wonder companies / people, at least in the country where I live, are leaving the Microsoft model. Licenses are so complicated it takes the fun and eagerness out of trying to get it right. And I mean that sincere. Tech admins as well as legal department do not want things overly complicated or they start looking at alternatives, even though they might be more expensive = paying to get it more simple in life.

Great session!! I think you are able to move/upgrade to a different or higher M365 plan and still keep Teams. It’s in the Partner FAQ. Will double check and post the link. Also, possible use cases for Copilot for M365 for Frontline workers could be in Teams (details on missed meetings with action items) and Outlook (mail summarization, prioritization , ability to follow a meeting if you can’t make it- because you are typically not at desk). Cheers!

😂😂 truee

If in one cluster we have 23 Vm, where 20 vm is using standard os and 3 Vm using datacenter os. It is still required to license entire infra with datacenter or we can do use both Std. and Dc based licensing sepately in a cluster

hey Sam, I am the sole user of my Windows server 2022 with an admin accout. I have no client or nobody who share my server. Do i still need a CAL? Thank you

Hello, I have purchased 48 Dell servers, each with 2 sockets and 28 cores per socket. They were supplied with OEM Windows Server 2022 Datacenter licenses per server, covering all cores. I am utilizing VMware vSphere for virtualization. How can I license all of my Windows Server 2022 virtual machines? I have been using the OEM keys to license each virtual server, but I have run out of activations and can no longer activate additional servers.

If hyper-threading is enabled in the virtual machine, then do I need to consider logical cores for the windows server license calculations?

Great, you made it easy!

Thank you for the very informative video, Alexander. What about the Product Terms applicable to the downgraded version? For example, if SQL Server 2022 is downgraded to SQL Server 2019, is it governed by the rules for version 2022? Is that correct?
