    Hi,

    We are currently running a vmware environment with 10 physical machines and we are thinking of running SQL Server 2008 Std Edition in one virtual operating environment. We already have SQL 2008 user cal's, am I correct in assuming that we only now need one SQL Server 2008 Std Edition Server license, or do we need to licence each of the 10 machine the VOE could be running on.

    Thanks

    Adam Sankey
