What Are You Doing Right Now

Another four hours have past and another totally clueless Windows admin trying to figure out the pretty simple state of Windows 2016 licensing. I'm so lost as to how this is confusing. Did no one get it right with 2012 either?
-
@scottalanmiller What's the point of confusion?

It's different every time. This time, guy thinks that cores make Windows 2016 dirt cheap and that he's won the licensing lotto and that he only needs to license the cores, no minimums.
-
@scottalanmiller Ha! It would -- without minimums
I had a bit of confusion way back when about non-windows guest OSes in Hyper-V with Windows Server Standard. I wasn't sure if the two-guest-OS limit was only for Windows Server guests or for any guest. -
@scottalanmiller We have one ancient desktop functioning as a server, so the day we renewed SA for cores (albeit the cost was about the same as if would've been processors), the number of cores purchased compared to the actual hardware was laughable.

It still needed the same level of CPU licensing before, though. Going from minimum under 2012 to 2016 doesn't really change.

I'm waiting on Siemens 's MRI maintenance at our facility

@scottalanmiller Correct. It just added to the fun to explaining why we needed "so many" cores to those who write the check.

I really have totally lost any semblance of productivity at this point. I can post here, but it is SLOW.

Going to take the kids for gelato since it is nearly our last chance to do so anyway.

Same here. Just finished our nightly reading.

My kiddo learned why we need to sleep enough at night. He was up a bit later than usual last night and sleepy all day.
Fortunately for him, he is on spring break this week.
