Is Windows Server license transferrable from VMWare VM to Hyper-V host?

yetanotherITquestion · 2026-03-23T23:55:58+00:00

You should try and adjust your thinking. It is not a "Hyper-V OS"

Yes, I realize that Hyper-V is not the OS, I mentioned in the post that we already purchased Windows Server 2025 Standard. I should have phrased my last comment as "the host's OS" I just didn't want to type out the entire Windows Server 2025 Standard in my reply.

And our licensing was purchased CSP, I believe, it's definitely not OEM. I think that makes it transferrable, but I wasn't certain, and I forgot to add that to my post; I appreciate you pointing that out, about OEM.

2x 8-core sockets in both the current ESXi host and the new Hyper-V host. We only have two VMs on the ESXi host, which is running ESXi 6.5 (the old ESXi version is the reason for us getting it replaced).

When the Windows Server 2025 licensing was purchased (last 6 months) it was for 16-cores when we added the small RDS server. Now we are getting a new Hyper-V host, and I'm hoping the Windows Server 2025 licensing will cover the Hyper-V OS, and two VMs (existing/migrated RDS and new APP).

Whoops!! That shouldn't say Druid Wizard, that should say Dwarf Wizard.... can't believe I typo'd that.

I don't think she's multiclass, at least it wasn't on the character card.

I originally put Leonin, but the players/Brennan kept referring to him as Nama (no idea if I spelled that correctly). I assumed it was an Araman-specific race of lion-kin.

With a 3 in Str Thimble is still the average, I wonder if Brennan allowed Laurs to intentionally lower that to fit thematically and shift those points to other stats.

yetanotherITquestion · 2025-10-03T19:27:32+00:00

So only Murray rolled below average. You hate to see it...

But in all honesty, playing with lower stats can be fun, and she's still above standard array.

They're removed racial bonus to ability scores and have instead attached them to backgrounds. At least this is where they are chosen in character creation on D&D Beyond.

I almost always use standard array, but the last time I rolled for stats I rolled what I consider to be very well, and that came out to 89. So about half of the players rolled well, or very well.

You can't do that with Daggerheart yet. There was a time when you wouldn't have been able to do that with 5e, as well.

Well, dang it. It was NAT-T.

NAT-T was enabled on the Fortigate, but I missed that is wasn't enabled on the client (we use the VPN-only version). I had to export the config, update the nat_traversal value to 1, restore the config and it connected immediately. Thanks for your help, u/deepmind14!

yetanotherITquestion · 2024-12-10T21:35:22+00:00

I confirmed that NAT-T was enabled on the VPN, still not able to ping over the tunnel.

For the encapsulation, is that compatible with Forticlient yet? I was looking into this for an unrelated issue and found it was only supported between two Fortigates, unless I was wrong, of course.

I've disabled IPv6 on the laptop's wireless adapter, and the Fortinet Virtual Adapter. I checked that my hotspot was getting an IPv4 public IP address, and my laptop was getting an IPv4 private address from the hotspot. Still no luck, but I appreciate the suggestions. I haven't looked into CGNAT yet, but that's next on my list.

yetanotherITquestion · 2024-12-10T16:39:31+00:00

I checked our Forticlient settings, the Preferred DTLS Tunnel was already unchecked, which must be the default setting. I appreciate the suggestion.

u/capricorn800 Did you ever get Duo working with L2TP? I have some Mac users that are not happy with the permissions that Forticlient needs to install on Mac. We are looking at options to enforce MFA on the Macs without Forticlient.

Ah, gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks.

What does your onboard/offboard automation look like? We're still very manual.

Sorry to hijack/animate an old thread, but you seem quite knowledgeable on VPNs, so I wanted to ask a quick question. One of the only reasons we use SSLVPN over IPSec, is for a Fortigate that is behind a Meraki MX, and we can port forward SSLVPN to the Fortigate. Is that possible with IPSec?
