Hi,

I have installed 2 x VMs with Windows Server 2019 Standard on a Windows Server 2022 Standard Host. Should I be able to license the 2019 Virtual Machines? If so, do I need a key for Windows Server 2019?

I am using Hyper-V.

    Hello,

    Your host is Windows Server 2022 Standard, you can run up to two VMs without additional licensing; more than two requires additional licenses.

    Hope this helps.
