For Datacenter Edition, the number of virtual instances on this server would then be unlimited. For this server, for either edition, two licenses are required. Each license covers up to two processors. Let’s assume that we have a four-processor device. Microsoft requires all physical processors on the server be licensed. Keep that in mind as we walk through the example. The licensing for Datacenter Edition is about 5½ times that of Standard Edition.
Since the functionality levels are equal, it’s something of an arithmetic issue. unlike the limited functionality editions for Windows Essentials and Window Foundation that are licensed by Server with CALs included. Both primary editions can only be licensed in the Processor Plus CAL metric.
The versions are identical from a technical perspective with the only difference being virtualization rules. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 comes with the availability of two primary editions – Standard and Datacenter.
