Each software license will cover up two physical processors on a single server.
Additive licenses available for additional 2 VMs and 2 CPUs
Common features across editions

High availability features such as failover clustering are included.

Customers with Standard edition licenses can attach multiple licenses to a single server to increase
virtualization rights. Each license will increase virtualization rights by two virtual machines.
