From UUID to Windows Licensing intersects w/ VMware DRS

Hi folks the title kind of seems to be missy, I have a question and I hope I posted it in the right place. As much as I know as a learner that Windows when licensed it bind that license to the Hardware number which is in our case ( Chassis B-Series Servers ) is binded to our UUID. Now suppose my Windows Server VM is moved by  the DRS to another Blade OR another Chassis completely which means another Server another UUID how license will be managed now ?

Me as a Fresher want to understand that process so looking forward you help me ,

Many thanks to you in Advance

it binds to the hardware the OS is installed on so for vm's it's the virtual hardware and not the physical hardware. thus DRS is not issue at all with licenses.
