We are enrolled into the BizSpark program and there is Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter edition available, does that mean we can run unlimited number of VMs or am I interpreting something wrong here?

Thanks!

Technically or legally? I don't know if you need licensing for the guests or how that works. – Bart Silverstrim Sep 22 '10 at 16:55
Legally, from microsoft.com: Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter licenses include unlimited virtualization rights, meaning customers have the use rights to run an unlimited number of virtualized instances of Windows Server on processors licensed with Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter without purchasing additional licenses – Acanthus Sep 22 '10 at 16:59

Sounds like you're covered, then. Whenever we have licensing questions we end up going to the vendor to find out since there are so many variations on licensing from MS. – Bart Silverstrim Sep 23 '10 at 12:03
