I'm hoping this is an easy question for someone more experienced with this but I don't want to get it wrong and get stung by Microsoft.
I've installed SQL 2017 onto a VM, the host server has a single
Intel Xeon E5-2637 v3 CPU, which has 4 cores. I've bought SQL licensing for 4 cores.
In hyper V, I can select 8 virtual processors to use all the resources of the host server. If I assign the VM 8 virtual processors am I still covered by the 4 core licensing I have?
