Next I’d like to discuss a few licensing implications for the new Windows Server Essentials Experience role, which is now an option available in the Standard and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2012 R2 (it is turned on by default in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials). The first implication is around downgrade rights from the Standard edition to the Essentials edition, which was introduced with Windows Server 2012. Windows Server 2012 R2 will continue to have the same licensing model as Windows Server 2012, with two editions available in volume licensing: Standard edition and Datacenter edition. Editions are differentiated by virtualization rights only (two OSEs for Standard, and unlimited OSEs for Datacenter). This article describes an issue that typically occurs in a Remote Desktop License server that is running Windows Server 2012 R2 when there are multiple license servers in the deployment and during high load. Before you install this update, see the Prerequisites section.
You're probably best getting in touch with a MS Licensing reseller (I recommend getting quoted from 3 as they can make mistakes too, it's so complicated).
You won' tbe able to get 2012 licenses now though, you'll need 2019 licenses, but they are downgradeable to 2012 if you want do do that.
The number of licenses will depend on the number of cores and deciding between standard and datacentre will depend on the number of VM's you're running. It sounds like you're on a single sever with love core count and low VM count, so I'd guess a couple of standard licenses should suffice, but always best to get a qualified licensing specialist to review your exact usage and figure it out.
You have to keep the numbers of physical processore in mind when licensing Windows Server 2012.
Standard Edition
- This License is for two processors
- You can use it for two virtual machines
- Beside this same functionality as Datacenter Edition
Datacenter Edition
You can use Datacenter Edtion for a unlimited number of virtual machines.

What is mac cleanup. You can’t use CALs from former versions of Windows Server 2012.
