One Windows 2003 license for more than one Virtual Machine

I have read that I can use the same license for more than one Virtual machine
in a virtual environment. I am using vmware but when I try to assign the same
license to a second virtual machine I cannot.
I have read this articles about it, but they don't say how or why I cannot do:

Expanded Use Rights for Windows Server 2003 R2

The new Microsoft licensing allows up to four instances of Windows Server
2003 R2 Enterprise Edition to be run in virtual OS environments on that
server, while only paying for one license. Gartner Research states: â€œWindows
Server 2003 R2, Enterprise Edition is the only edition that will allow the
customer to run one instance in a physical operating system (OS) environment
and up to four instances in virtual OS environments for one license fee.â€

What This Means for VMware Environments

While more expensive than the Standard edition, the ability to run up to
four instances of Windows Server 2003 R2 (Enterprise) on a single physical
ESX server and only pay for one license will still enable some attractive
economic benefits for many organizations.
