I have Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 license (Qty 4) for 2 Processor and I want to insert it in snow but I am confused how I can go about it. I have selected Number of Processor in Metric option and how will I insert the license, I have 4 license for 2 processor will it be 8 (4X2) or I can only insert 4? Also I have edited application and set it to Number of Processors and what is minimum number of licenses? Also I have 174 physical server so this license will go on them as Windows datacenter license has unlimited VM?
I require help in inserting this license in snow to check compliance and want best practice ( I have attach snow images)
Hi kiran.bangera,
The proper way to add processor license is to "Assign" them to a data center or individual servers. If you assign them to a data center and want all the VM's to be licenses in a unlimited fashion you must cover the total number of all physical servers in that data center.
Example Screenshot:
1) Add enough processors licenses to cover the data center to be licensed.
2) Search for Data center to assign the license
3) Modify the the application "Windows Server R2 Datacenter"
4) No run "Recalculate Compliance"
This should properly apply the rules.
