![]() The Datacenter and Standard editions of Windows Server 2012 R2 differ only in terms of virtualization rights. However, CALs are required for the Standard and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2012 R2. The Essentials and Foundation editions both do not require Client Access Licenses (CALs). The Foundation edition is notable for having no Hyper-V virtualization rights. The price of the Foundation edition wasn't listed because it gets determined by Microsoft's original equipment manufacturer partners. There's also a Foundation edition of Windows Server 2012 R2, supporting up to 15 user accounts. It plans to ship Essentials when Windows Server 2012 R2 is released. Microsoft added a few enhancements to Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2. R2 Essentials will cost $501 compared with $425 for Windows Server 2012 Essentials. The price of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials for small businesses, which supports up to 25 user accounts, also will go up. The Standard edition of Windows Server 2012 R2 will have the same price ($882 per year) as its predecessor. A Microsoft spokesperson stated that "in fact, the $6,155 price is a one-time cost, not annual."
