Important CAL Information Windows Server Client Access Licenses (CALs) are not included unless specifically stated otherwise. Users or devices accessing Windows Server services may require the appropriate Windows Server CALs. If users require Remote Desktop Services (RDS) functionality, the appropriate RDS CALs are separate and may also be required in addition to standard Windows Server CALs.
Datacenter Virtualisation Rights A major advantage of the Datacenter edition is its extensive virtualisation licensing. When all physical processor cores in the server are correctly licensed according to Microsoft's applicable licensing requirements, Windows Server Datacenter provides rights to run unlimited Windows Server operating system environments (OSEs)/virtual machines on that licensed server.
This licence provides 16-core coverage. If your physical server contains more than 16 physical cores, additional core licensing may be required to fully license the server. Standard vs Datacenter Windows Server 2025
