The Standard edition supports virtualization rights for up to two "operating system environments" on up to two processors. The Datacenter edition provides "unlimited virtualization" rights, although in practice the number of virtual machines is limited by the hardware used, according to Directions on Microsoft's licensing tips. The Datacenter and Standard editions of Windows Server 2012 R2 differ only in terms of virtualization rights. However, CALs are required for the Standard and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2012 R2. The Essentials and Foundation editions both do not require Client Access Licenses (CALs). The Foundation edition is notable for having no Hyper-V virtualization rights. The price of the Foundation edition wasn't listed because it gets determined by Microsoft's original equipment manufacturer partners. There's also a Foundation edition of Windows Server 2012 R2, supporting up to 15 user accounts. It plans to ship Essentials when Windows Server 2012 R2 is released.
Microsoft added a few enhancements to Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2. The documentation now suggests that both versions are priced at $501. However, Microsoft appears to have corrected that price, as others have noticed. Update: Microsoft's online documentation had once indicated that Windows Server 2012 Essentials was priced at $425, suggesting a price increase for the R2 version. The price of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials for small businesses, which supports up to 25 user accounts, will be $501. The Standard edition of Windows Server 2012 R2 will have the same price ($882 per year) as its predecessor. Correction: a Microsoft spokesperson stated that "in fact, the $6,155 price is a one-time cost, not annual." $4,809 for Windows Server 2012 Datacenter edition licensing, according to Microsoft's "Windows Server 2012 R2 Licensing Datasheet" document. It will cost $6,155 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition vs. When released, Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition will cost 28 percent more than the comparable edition on Windows Server 2012. Windows Server 2012 R2 will be generally available by year's end, but the exact date hasn't been disclosed yet. Microsoft published updated pricing on its emerging products in two documents at this page, which was noted late last week by Microsoft MVP Aidan Finn in a blog post. Windows Server 2012 R2 will arrive with price hikes on some licensing, according to newly published Microsoft documentation.
