How to migrate to the cloud
Move to cloud and save big using your Windows Server licenses
You can save up to 49 percent2 on Windows Server virtual machines in Azure, depending on usage, instance type, and location. For every 2-processor Windows Server license or Windows Server license with 16 cores covered with Software Assurance, you can run either of the following at the reduced compute rate: • Up to two virtual machines with up to 8 cores or • One virtual machine with up to 16 cores. You can also run virtual machines with more than 16 cores by stacking licenses. For example, for two 2-processor licenses or two 16-core licenses, you may run a virtual machine with up to 32 cores.
