Microsoft anounces new virtualization friendly licensing

Très bonne nouvelle pour les utilisateurs des plusieurs versions de Windows
Server s'exécutant sous Virtual Server 2005 ainsi que fort probablement
VPC2004 et les produits VMWare: les restrictions sur le nombre requis de
licences pour des installations multiples viennent ou vont être
considérablement réduite et l'annonce vient d'en être faite sur le groupe de
discussion anglophone m.p.virtualserver. Si je puis me permettre de citer
la nouvelle au complet:

« Today we have announced new licensing plans for our server software
which is much more virtualization friendly. I quick summary of the
changes is as follows:

1) New virtualization use rights for Windows ServerT 2003 R2 Enterprise
Edition and Windows Server "Longhorn" Datacenter Edition enable
cost-effective consolidation. Licenses for the upcoming Windows Server
2003 R2 Enterprise Edition will allow customers to run up to four
virtual instances on one physical server at no additional cost. Licenses
for the Datacenter Edition of the version of Windows Server, code-named
"Longhorn," will give customers the right to run an unlimited number of
virtual instances on one physical server.

2) Licensing by running instance improves the value and flexibility of
Windows Server System products. Customers will no longer license every
inactive or stored instance of a Windows Server System product.
Customers can now create and store unlimited numbers of instances,
including those for backup and recovery, and pay only for the maximum
number of running instances at any given time.

3) Portable licensing for the dynamic enterprise allows customers to
easily deploy and run Windows Server System products on any physical
server licensed for the software. Customers can move active instances
from one licensed server box to another without limitation, as long as
the physical server is licensed for the Windows Server System product.

4) Per-processor licensing better aligns with resources used. With
Windows Server System products that are licensed per processor, such as
Microsoft SQL ServerT, BizTalk® Server, and Internet Security &
Acceleration Server, customers will have greater flexibility to stack
multiple instances on a machine by licensing for the number of virtual
processors being used.

You should note that these changes only apply to our server software.
Licensing for desktop software remains unchanged at the moment.
