Core-based Windows Server license

This Microsoft 9EM-00517 licence covers two processor cores for Windows Server Standard under a Volume agreement. It is intended for organisations adding cores to an existing deployment or starting a new one with Software Assurance included.

Licensing model limits coverage to physical cores

The licence metric counts physical cores on the host server, so virtualisation rights depend on the core total licensed. Software Assurance runs for three years from the acquired year and provides upgrade rights while active.

Two-core increment determines purchase quantity

Each unit licenses exactly two cores, so the number of packs required matches the core count of the hardware. A tenant ID must be supplied before the order can be processed.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the 2-core licence or a larger core pack for my server?

This SKU covers exactly two cores; add further 2-core packs until every physical core in the host is licensed.

What does the 3 Year Acquired Year 1 term give me once the licence is assigned?

It provides three years of Software Assurance benefits — new version rights, planning services and support — starting from the first year of acquisition.

How does the Volume licensing channel affect the way I activate and manage these core licences?

Volume licences use your Microsoft tenant ID for central activation and compliance tracking across the organisation.
