My reply actually had little to do with whether or not the OP was referencing physical or virtual and was mainly to point out that both are allowed when used in accordance with its EULA and with the correct type and number of licenses for the number of instances one intends to deploy. That's really the only point I was trying to make since the statement you made, "I don't believe that Microsoft's licensing policies allow this", was not necessarily accurate for all licence types.
