I think the emergence of 18-core CPUs makes that inevitable. Right now, if you want 36 cores, you\u2019re probably looking at using 4 x 10-core CPUs, which is 2 Windows Server licenses (each license covers 2 CPUs). Those new CPUs halve Microsoft\u2019s revenue on the upper end of the market.<\/p>\n<p>I would be surprised if, come April, there isn\u2019t an announcement of a change to Windows Server licensing, in conjunction with the GA of Windows Server \u201c2015\u201d (Threshold) in (maybe) May.<\/p>\n<p>The key things here would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There must be a smooth transition process \u2013 when MSFT switched SQL Server to per-core it was quite confusing for resellers and customers. Note that resellers choosing to work with a good distributor helps out quite a bit here, and in turn helps their customers get best value and stay legit!<\/li>\n<li>The price for smaller deployments cannot increase. In my opinion, the cost of Windows Server Standard\/Datacenter must stay the same on a machine with 2 x 6-core CPUs before and after the release of Threshold. If one dual-CPU (covering 2 6-core CPUs) copy of WS2012 R2 costs $882, then a per-core license should cost $73.50. We can then license that same server with \u201cWS2015\u201d for 12 x 73.50 ($882).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If Microsoft gets it right, then the transition could be smooth. To be honest, I think it might even simplify licensing \u2013 the non-techy people who buy licensing struggle with the per-dual CPU model of WS2012 and WS2012 R2.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the ivory tower residents get it wrong (i.e. those same folks think that only Fortune 1000\u2019s and cloud hosters run servers \u2013 kids, drugs are baaaad) then we could be looking at a VMware vRAM type of backlash that would do serious damage to the current hot streak that the cloud OS is on.<\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:45ca7c17-5247-40b8-8259-13deb29af919\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\">Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Licensing\" rel=\"tag\">Licensing<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/Microsoft\" rel=\"tag\">Microsoft<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read MVP Didier Van Hoye\u2019s take here.
