New Windows Server license model.

tbh I've never had to deal with licensing around here. How has it changed? (yes, too lazy to google previous licensing models)

It used to be per instance of the OS. If you have 3 Windows VMs and 2 Windows physical machines then you need 5 licenses. (Actually, for a while they allowed 2 VMs per license, so you'd actually only need 4 licenses in that example and you still had license enough to install another VM).

Now they're doing it by CPU core count...except they don't explain very clearly whether they're concerned about physical CPU cores or virtual ones. I have my ESXi hosts oversubscribed with VMs assigned twice as many cores as actually exist. Further, VMs migrate inside of host clusters as needed, so one day there might be 12 VMs on host A and 2 on host B, another day there might be 8 and 6, etc.

I know that we can't ask them to sell based on how much it costs them, but for fuck's sake, core count has no bearing on their costs or even their revenue except if I replace two servers with one more powerful one -- but what of higher clock speeds and other performance enhancements? Are they going to start charging for that shit? This is ridiculous.

One license per 2gb of RAM or 500gb of space, whichever is smaller.

One license per iSCSI link.

One license per GHz of clock speed...

In addition to one license per client that may connect to said server. See section 5 for fees related to over usage.

Per-client licensing is already a thing...Client Access Licenses are required for some roles and we have hundreds of them.

again, I don't deal with licensing :jester:

What you guys think?

Need to replace my moms laptop, a HP Pavillion DV5-1010US from 2008.

It will be $350 on Thursday, is this a worthy upgrade?

i5 or i7 and 8gb or more is usually my recommendation. The only thing its missing is an SSD but for $350 hell yeah.

I'm also a fan of DellRefurbished.com if you don't mind a used machine. Paid about $300 out the door for an i7, 8gb, 500gb, backlit keyboard, Bluetooth, etc and its a Latitude 6000 series so they're made pretty well.

oh shit aint seen dat I will have to take a look

She don't do much, so the i5 8gb and 1tb would be fine for her IMO

Yeah that's plenty of machine for most people.

Ok, so I need help ASAP.

I forgot hwo to do this.

I have 2 devices that will be talking to each other over the WAN. Its 2 repeater stations that ping each other everfy few seconds to see which one is closer to the mobile unit that is trying to use it.

what my question is, I have a static IP address for each location with 2 useable IP's. How do I need to set this up so they can see each other? Would it be a Static route? Policy route? NAT entry? what?? I'm workign on this right as we speak and failing

I'm having trouble understanding...how are they talking to each other over WAN? If they are talking directly to each other then they are LAN, not WAN.

Can you post the IPs? You could obfuscate them to protect the innocent.

if they're in the same subnet, they should just see each other with no fanciness, right? I guess it depends on the setup.

Yup. No route needed, for example, if they are 172.16.2.8 and 172.16.2.201 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. You could even remove the default gateway and they'd still talk to each other.
