Matej Rizman. Dear forum, can I use personal use license in the following scenarios: a a company is building computer for it's own use from computer components, the computer won't be sold to an end user, b a company is installing secondary operating system on the second partition on their own computer that won't be sold to an end user.
The Microsoft website is unclear. If "personal use" means "use by hobbyists for private things", then this statement makes no sense. One possible interpretation is that "personal use" actually means that operating system is "NOT used to preinstall as the operating system on a customer system you build to sell to an end user".
Each additional set of eight entitles use on up to eight virtual cores and one Base Instance. In other words, once a minimum initial allocation of 16 licenses with Software Assurance is made, customers can add virtual cores up to eight to an existing or new virtual machine with incremental sets of eight licenses.
Each incremental set of eight licenses must be allocated to a single virtual machine. With Azure Hybrid Benefit, customers can move or add incremental workloads into Azure and pay non-Windows Linux pricing. With Datacenter Edition licensing, customers get these lower-cost instances in Azure while maintaining existing on-premises deployments. This is referred to as dual use rights. Standard Edition licensing provides lower-cost instances in Azure, but does not provide dual use rights.
This means access to base Windows Server functionality on Azure does not require base Windows Server CALs, and customers can leverage the Azure hosting clause to host their own customer solutions. Customers may use Windows Server on other public clouds via infrastructure as a service IaaS offerings through authorized Service Providers. In order to provide customers with a variety of options to license Windows Server, Microsoft makes licenses for Windows Server available to Service Providers for sale to customers as part of Service Provider solutions.
This is done through agreement between Microsoft and Service Providers. Windows Server product page. Windows Server licensing guide. Windows Server licensing datasheet. Azure Hybrid Benefit. Linux PinePhone Pro.

How-To Geek is where you turn when you want experts to explain technology. We do not sell our software or your copy of it — we only license it. Under our license , we grant you the right to install and run that one copy on one computer the licensed computer , for use by one person at a time, but only if you comply with all the terms of this agreement.
Typically, this means you can install one copy of the software on a personal computer and then you can use the software on that computer. That last license type represents the first time Microsoft has formally acknowledged the right of its end-user customers to install Windows 8 on a new PC they build themselves, or to install it in a virtual machine or on a separate partition.
The new Personal Use License agreement specifically grants you the right to buy the same software available to System Builders and use it on your own PC—in its own physical partition or in a virtual machine. This is an enormous improvement over the existing Windows 7 license. You may not install the software as an operating system on any computer except one that you are building for your own use or as an operating system running on a local virtual machine or a separate partition.
You may not install the software on a computer that is running a non-genuine Windows operating system. The language about "non-genuine Windows" is designed to prevent the use of a System Builder license on a system running a counterfeit copy of Windows; for those customers, Microsoft has a separate Get Genuine product. Update: The tinfoil-hat brigade has showed up in the comments to suggest that this license agreement is a nefarious plot to block Linux or Mac users from running Windows in a VM.
Nothing could be further from the truth. These Personal Use License terms specifically allow you to run Windows in a virtual machine, regardless of the platform. The reference to "a non-genuine Windows operating system" applies to Windows installations that have either not been properly activated or are using a blocked license key or an activation crack.
