Virtualization of a OEM Windows Server 2008 Standard

$

Hi everybody,

I have a physical Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition OEM. The virtual key has been already used for another VM which is running with Virtual Box inside the S2008.

I want to virtualise it and run it in a new physical server with ESXi.

I understood that I need to buy a new Windows server 2008 License for it, because it will ask me to reactivate.

Next: I want to keep the old physical server as backup. I will install ESXi on it. The W2008 VM will run on it only when the new primary server will fail.

Which kind of license do I have to buy for the new server? If it is OEM, I will need to reactivate the VM when I will move it to the old server, right? and again, when the primary server will be available, I will need another activation with the same key.

I can not access to the Volume License because I need to buy minimum 5 licenses.

I wait some suggestions. Thank you
