Understanding Windows Server Core Licensing

Windows Server 2022: Standard and Datacenter both editions operate under a core-based licensing model. The number of core licenses needed depends on whether you're licensing based on the physical cores of the server or by virtual machine, with a minimum requirement of 8 core license per physical processor and a minimum of 16 core license per physical server. For complete details on core licensing, Please refer to: Licensing Guide.

Understanding the Core Licensing

Recommended Hardware Requirements

Processor requirements:
    • A minimum of 1.4 GHz 64-bit EMT64 or AMD64 processor. Quad Core Recommended for production systems.
    • Support for security features like NX Bit and DEP (Data Execution Prevention).
    •  The processor should support CMPXCHG16b, LAHF/SAHF, and PrefetchWNeeds.
    • Needs to Support EPT or NPT (Second Level Address Translation).
Disk Space:
  • For Core installation, a minimum Disk Space of 32 GB is required. Additional 4 GB is necessary for GUI installation.
Disk Space Capacity Planning (Microsoft Support recommends the following):
  • 3 times the RAM size limited up to 32 GB. Which means 96 GB (32×3 = 96 GB).
  • Additional disk space of 10-12 GB for additional roles and features installed based on server roles. For 32 GB Systems with GUI (96 + 12 = 108 GB).
  • Additional 10 GB is required for Windows Updates. So, 108 GB +10 GB = 118 GB for 32 GB Systems.
  • 10 GB extra space for miscellaneous files and logs (Perfmon, Server Trace, etc.) (128 GB for 32 GB Systems).
  • Any Disk Space requirements for applications that are installed on the OS partition are additional. For example SQL, Exchange, SharePoint MS-CRM, etc.
Disk Controller:
