A customer licensed with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise may run one instance of the server software in the POSE and up to four instances of the server software in the VOSE. If the customer is running four instances in the VOSE, the instance running in the POSE can only be used to manage the four instances of the operating system running in the VOSE.
The diagram below illustrates this license. The orange arrow indicates that when running all five instances, the instance of the server software running in the POSE may only be used to manage and service the instances of the operating system running in the VOSE.
The diagram below indicates that with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, customers may move a virtual instance of the server software to another server that is properly licensed to support an added instance. For Volume Licensing customers, the actual license may also be reassigned to another server every 90 days.
