I just finished installing and setting up server 2016 (standard). I am new to this stuff, but everything went REALLY smooth - very impressed.
I also setup Hyper-V, and installed 2016 into a vm. When I attempted to activate the VM/Hyper-V instance, the license key for the main install did/does not work.
It is my understanding that we get/have two additional VM license activations when using server 2016 standard?
Am I to use a different key for these additional two vm’s? I did seem some “info” about automatic vm license activations, but that only applies to the versions “above” standard 2016 server edition.
Any help as to what I am supposed to use for those additional 2 keys (if I am correct) is appreciated.
