Configuració i instal·lació
Aquest producte és un additional license and does not include installation media or a product key for a base Windows Server 2025 Standard installation. A separate base license with media and a product key is required to install Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition.
Requisits de llicència:
- Base License: Ensure you have a valid base license for Windows Server 2025 Standard Edition already installed and activated.
- Core-Based Licensing: Windows Server 2025 uses core-based licensing. A minimum of 16 cores must be licensed for each physical server. This 4-core additional license is used to license servers with more than 16 processor cores.
- Virtual Machines (VMs): The base Windows Server 2025 Standard license allows for two virtual machines. Additional licenses, such as this 4-core pack, can be used to license all physical processor cores again, which in turn adds two more virtual machines to your Windows Server Standard environment.
Applying the Additional License:
- Identify Core Count: Determine the total number of physical cores in your server.
- Calculate Additional Needs: If your server has more than 16 cores, you will need additional licenses to cover all physical cores. Each 4-core pack covers 4 additional cores.
- Activació de la llicència: Follow the instructions provided with your base Windows Server 2025 Standard license for activating additional core licenses. This typically involves using the Server Manager or PowerShell to apply the license keys associated with your additional core packs.
- Verify Licensing: After applying the license, verify the licensing status through Server Manager to ensure all cores are properly licensed and the expected number of VMs are available.
Operating and Management
Once the additional license is applied, your Windows Server 2025 Standard environment will recognize the expanded licensing capacity. This allows you to fully utilize servers with higher core counts and deploy additional virtual machines as per your licensing entitlement.
Aspectes operacionals clau:
- Core Utilization: The additional license ensures that all physical cores beyond the initial 16 are legally licensed for use by the operating system and applications.
- Virtual Machine Rights: Each time you license all physical cores on a server using additional license packs, you gain rights to run two more Windows Server virtual machines.
- Compliment: Regularment review your server's core count and VM deployments against your total licensing to maintain compliance with Microsoft's licensing terms.
Manteniment
Maintaining your Windows Server 2025 licensing involves periodic checks and updates.
- License Verification: Periodically verify your license status through Server Manager or PowerShell commands to ensure all licenses are active and correctly applied.
- Hardware Changes: If you upgrade or change server hardware, especially the CPU, you may need to re-evaluate your core licensing requirements and potentially acquire additional licenses.
- Actualitzacions de programari: Keep your Windows Server operating system updated to ensure compatibility and access to the latest licensing management tools.

Problemes comuns:
