Need some clarification on the following.



Data Center Edition description lists:




Can be used as virtualization guest: Yes, unlimited virtual machines,
plus one Hyper-V host per license




https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started-19/editions-comparison-19



The way I understand it is, that I can create unlimited guest virtual machines without additional keys.



Is my understanding correct?



If not, please explain.



If yes, how do I go about creating guest virtual machines from the host's license?

Windows VMs running on Datacenter are licensed through Automatic Virtual Machine Activation, which lets a VM activate via the Hyper-V service on the host.



All you need to do is to provision the VM with the appropriate AVMA product key, which are provided in Microsoft's documentation.
