The Windows Server Virtualization Calculator provides two ways to estimate the number and cost of Windows Server Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition licenses needed for your virtualization scenarios to help you determine the most cost-effective edition of Windows Server.
With option A (green chart), you can enter the number of servers by processor (socket, not core) count with the average number of virtualized instances of Windows Server that will run on each server.
With option B (blue chart), you can enter the processor (socket, not core) count and number of virtualized instances of Windows Server for each individual server.
The calculator is pre-populated with the US dollar Open agreement Estimated Retail Prices for Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition (yellow chart below), which you can update with your organization’s prices for more accurate estimates.
