The VM licensing video mentioned doesn't exist?

Can you explain the licensing configuration when the hypervisor is vmware and we are running Windows VM on that what licensing model is required and how many licenses are required.

[jackt]

So the moral of the story for Standard running 2 VMs using Hyper-V or ESXi is to buy a machine with a single 16-core processor or two 8-core processors. You need one CAL per user unless they are running apps on the server through Terminal Services, in which case they also need an RDS CAL. However, if they are working remotely by just connecting through the VPN to their local computers on the internal network they don't need them. Next stop is figuring out MSSQL 2022 licensing running on one of those VMs.

Sam, How about if I were using Active Directory. Should I buy thousands of user CALs?
