Hi - I'm a bit confused on the number of instances allowed to run under a single SQL 2008 license.
This article shows that all editions of SQL 2008 are able to run 50 instances (25 on a cluster):
Maximum Capacity Specifications for SQL Server
However, these articles shows that Standard Edition is limited to 16 instances and only enterprise can run 50 instances:
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise and Standard Feature Compare
Which is correct?!

50 Instance for Stanard and Enterprise, Only workgroup edition allows 16 instances.

If you are buying a new license or have your existing licenses under Service Assurance, then you are bound by the SQL 2012 licensing rules regardless of which version of SQL Server you are running.
