    Hi,

    So if I have 8 core server and running Hyper-V 2016 host with one Windows 2016 VM do I need just one 8 core SPLA license or need to 2 x 8 cores SPLA for VM and Hyper-V? What about if I add another 8 core server and run Hyper-V replica between them? For Hyper-V I’m using one with GUI and have backup role enabled. Also let’s say I will decide on top of replication backup servers between each other do I need an extra SPLA license for each Hyper-V or one 8 core SPLA licence will cover Hyper-V & VM? Thanks
