Hyper-V Estimator
Plan your Windows Server and Hyper-V licensing budget with the Hyper-V Estimator. Select between Datacenter and Standard editions, enter your host hardware specifications, and see the total licence cost including Client Access Licences (CALs). The tool accounts for Microsoft's core-based licensing model with its 16-core minimum per server and 8-core minimum per processor. It also factors in the unlimited-VM benefit of Datacenter edition versus Standard's two-VM entitlement, helping you decide which edition delivers the best value for your virtualisation density. Results include per-host breakdowns, total CAL costs for your user or device count, and optional Software Assurance pricing. Perfect for IT buyers comparing Hyper-V against VMware or Proxmox alternatives. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser.
