Hi Eric
Thanks for the information - The main server OS is Windows 2022 Datacentre based on total cores is a server cluster.
So, any virtual server in the same space - an AVMA key can be added to run any supported servers below 2022 (2019/2016 /2012/2012R2) etc . We will give it a go! and let you know -
thanks
