Proper licensing of Microsoft VMs running on PRISM/Acropolis Pro | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Good evening.

We are evaluating some nutanix offerings from a local partner.

However I have some Microsoft related question and the partner is taking too long to respond.



1- Is there a version of Nutanix Acropolis/PRISM (4 node)that allows me to run unlimited Windows VMs without me needing to purchase a MS Windows DataCenter Core License from Microsoft?

2- Is there a PRISM/Acropolis Pro version that comes with a built in Windows Datacenter valid license?

Or

3-Do I need (as usual) to buy my Datacenter Core licenses to properly license my new Windows VMs?



Thanks
Hi @eperezpty



As you stated in option 3 - you need to purchase Microsoft license for those VMs as usual. The Nutanix software does not come with Microsoft Licenses. Hope this helps 👍
