The eternal Microsoft licensing labyrinth claims another victim! Anyone who's survived a Microsoft audit knows this pain - trying to decipher their deliberately cryptic licensing rules is like trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded while someone keeps changing the colors.
After days of reading contradictory forum posts, conflicting official docs, and getting different answers from every MS rep, this admin finally reached enlightenment: "Screw it, I'm doing it my way." The beautiful simplicity of "one server, one license, two VMs" is the IT equivalent of finding inner peace.
The best part? That defiant "Here are my 4 licenses for 4 servers with 8 VMs" stance. It's the sysadmin equivalent of telling the IRS "here's my math, fight me."
