VMs typically require installation with a served license.
If you need to use a Developer edition via Remote Desktop Connection (RDC), Terminal Services, or similar remote access technology, you cannot use unserved licenses. You must generate served licenses and use a license server. Virtual machines (VMs) that are not locally hosted typically require RDC, so also require served licenses.
If installing on a VM with an unserved license, you must use console 0 to access the VM to perform the installation.
