What is the new Windows Server 2012 Standard Additional License APOS version?

SMBs are increasingly using virtualization to drive efficiency and reduce cost. However, not all customers plan ahead for thenumber of VMs they will use. Most SMBs start with one copy of Windows Server Standard but, as their need for VMs grows, they currently don’t have an easy way to add additional licenses (also known as stacking) APOS. We are now introducing Windows Server Standard Additional License for APOS. This helps customers scale their businesses based on need while staying compliant

Each Additional License provides rights to 2 additional VMs and 2 additional CPUs.

•The new Additional License comes with re-assignment rights. This means that Additional Licenses can now be re-assigned to another physical server that has a WS2012/R2 Standard base license. This can be done once every 90 days. Note: no other OEM license has re-assignment rights.

•The Additional License will be a new SKU / part number but will not include media or a product key. MNAs will have the ability to SKU this up as ROK (as they currently do with CALs). The product ID of this SKU is: Windows Server® 2012 Standard Additional License (2 CPU/2VMs) (No Media)

Customer benefits of buying Additional Licenses

• Scale as you need: You now have the flexibility to scale your server as your business need dictates even if you chose not to purchase unlimited VMs at the outset with a Windows Server Datacenter license.
• Re-assign your license: Your Additional License is not tied to a physical server. You can now re-assign your Additional Licenses (not only your VMs) to another server if you need to. Note: your WS2012/R2 Standard base license is still tied to a physical server and may not be re-assigned.
• Be compliant: Additional Licenses give you a way to be compliant with the Microsoft License Terms of WS2012/R2 Standard as you add VMs to your Windows Server Standard OS. FAQs
