Question about migrating my Windows server from a physical server to a virtual environment (VM)

[JosueGS_97]

Hello 

I have a client asking me. If I need a license to migrate my Windows server from a physical server to a VM? If not, is there any impact/complication to performing this migration?

Best regard,

Is the destination host already licensed? Virtual machines are not licensed but only activated. 

***Some general info***
- Each host needs to be licensed.
- A minimum of 8 core licenses is required for each physical processor and a minimum of 16 core licenses is required for each server.
- Core licenses are sold in packs of two.
- Standard Edition provides rights for up to 2 Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For each additional 1 or 2 VMs, all the physical cores in the server must be licensed again.
- DataCenter Edition provides rights for unlimited Operating System Environments or Windows Servers containers with Hyper-V isolation when all physical cores in the server are licensed.
