Frequently asked questions
What does Datacenter add over Standard, exactly?
Unlimited virtual machines on the licensed host, Storage Spaces Direct, Network Controller, and the ability to host Shielded VMs as a guarded fabric host. Core roles and features are otherwise the same as Standard.
Do I need special hardware for Storage Spaces Direct?
It requires a cluster of multiple nodes with local storage — check Microsoft's current hardware compatibility list before planning a deployment; this license doesn't include hardware.
Do I still need CALs with Datacenter?
Yes. The core license covers the server; each user or device connecting to it still needs a Client Access License, sold separately.
Can I mix Datacenter and Standard hosts in the same environment?
Yes — licensing is per host. Use Datacenter on hosts running many VMs and Standard elsewhere.
Can I run Linux virtual machines under this license?
Yes. Datacenter's unlimited VM right covers Windows Server guest operating system environments specifically. Linux virtual machines can run under Hyper-V on the same host without consuming that allowance — they don't need a Windows Server license at all.
