I was just told that you can buy Datacenter Edition CPU licenses and run as many virtual servers as you want. So say you have a VM host server with two physical CPU's (cores don't matter). Buy two Datacenter CPU licenses and you can run as many guest VM servers as you want on that physical host. So if you do Vmotion and have another host with two cpu's you would need four cpu licenses etc.

We have a new server running 2008 Standard. The MS licensing page for HyperV says that I can run one VM server on the Standard edition and that additional licenses are required for each VM. Does that mean an additional 2008 Standard license is needed for each VM or do they sell a separate VM license for additional VMs in 2008 Standard ?
