Windows essentials and RDS

Hi there

Could anyone give and advise regarding licensing?

Here's my escenario:

Puchased a phisycal server with VMWARE ESXI 5.5

1 Windows 2012 STD license

1 Windows 2012 essentials license

40 remote users accesing RDS in Load Balance 

My goal:

Use the 2 Windows 2012 STD servers for RDS 

Use the Windows Essentials as Active Directory domain controller..

My questions:

1.-Microsoft says it is legal to have 2 OS or instances with the same license on Hyper-V..Does this also apply for VMWARE?

2.- Essentials only supports 25 users, as i will have 40 users authenticating with the AD..will this affect to the users accesing the RDS services on the 2 servers running Windows 2012 STD? Would i require more than 25 CALS for the AD to support my 40 users in the RDS?

3.- Remote Services CALS..As i'm trying to have 2 servers in Load Balance..Who controls the count of CALS in both servers? Should i need to purchase 20 for each one? or 40?

Any help is appreciated.
