Product Details
The Windows Server 2025 Standard edition is designed for lightly virtualized or physical on-premises environments and is licensed under the per-core plus CAL (Client Access License) model.
Key Details
-
Licensing Model:
Standard edition requires core-based licensing combined with Windows Server CALs for users or devices accessing the server. -
Core Requirements:
You must license all physical cores on the server. A minimum of eight core licenses per processor and sixteen per server applies when licensing by physical cores. Core licenses are sold in two-core or sixteen-core packs. -
Virtualization Rights:
-
When licensed by physical cores, Standard edition allows up to two Operating System Environments (OSEs)—either virtual or physical—and unlimited Windows containers without Hyper-V isolation. The physical host may run the OS only if it’s dedicated to managing the virtual OSEs.
-
When licensed per virtual machine, Standard edition entitles one virtual OSE, one Hyper-V isolated container, or unlimited non-isolated containers.
