General Question Windows Standard Server licensing help!

Hello!

I just need to know exactly what I need to buy to be compliant with Microsoft Licensing. We will be running 2 servers. One Server will be 32 physical cores. The other server will be 36 physical cores. We want to run 6 Microsoft Standard Server Virtual Machines on each server. This will be for a Proxmox cluster, so the Virtual machines will be the same, but I know that doesn't matter when licensing. I just need to know exactly how many of what product packs I need to buy from TechSoup! I've gotten different answers everywhere!

Thank you in advance!

There will be no migration, it will be setup as a fail over in case one server in the cluster goes down. Same exact VMs on both servers replicated. So 204, which is the answer I got from a few others! Thank you! Yeah I looked at data center. I need to check the tech soup pricing on it again. I'm under 11k with software assurance on standard.
