just starting to get into VMs and such.. my only real experience is VirtualBox.. but i'm looking to get into it more for playing and learning more windows server type stuff.
I'm trying to decide if i should use ESXI or MS Hyper-V.
I'm leaning to MS only because I really need to learn more about microsoft server products for work. But for some reason MS's licensing confuses me. There is a guy in the FS forums who has some Server licenses hes selling so my question is...
If i Get a MS'12 Datacenter license install with the Hyper-V role. I can use unlimited VM's from what i can tell, but can I use the same license to install on to the VM's?
So i install 2012 R2 DC on the host. Create 4 VMs and install the same license on those 4 VMs? That way i can play around with AD, IIS, exchange (hopefully),etc...
