Microsoft Licence Program Select Plus Academic (EDU) - Windows Server Datacenter

Product Information

Built from the Cloud up
The latest version of the Windows Server operating system offers businesses and hosting providers a scalable, dynamic, and multitenant-aware infrastructure that is optimized for the cloud.

Please follow these rules for licensing Windows Server:

Rule No.1: Each physical processor is valued with at least eight cores.

Rule No.2: Each physical server is valued with at least 16 cores.

Rule No.3: All physical and active cores must be licensed considering rules No.1 and No.2 so a Standard Server owns two VM-rights and a Datacenter Server unlimited VM-rights.

Rule No.4: To receive two more VM-rights for the Standard Edition all physical active cores must be licensed again.

A server with 4 CPUs with each 4 cores requires a license for 32 cores.

Here you may find the licensing factsheet (German PDF).

Please take a note of the FAQ.

Core

For Microsoft Select storage media and licenses, the term "core" refers to the type of licensing, not the type of installation. Here you can always choose at the beginning of the installation whether you want the graphical user interface or not. The storage media are suitable for licensing according to cores. The prices for the license are calculated according to the number of cores. This is independent of whether you want to install an installation with or without a graphical user interface.

For Microsoft Select storage media and licenses, the term "core" refers to the type of licensing, not the type of installation.

By default, we offer the software versions where you can always choose at the beginning of the installation whether you want to have the graphical user interface or not. The installation media are suitable for licensing by cores. The prices for the licence are calculated according to the number of cores. This is independent of whether you want to install an installation with or without a graphical user interface.

Installation media of the Semi Annual Channel (SAC) do not contain a graphical user interface. These may only be used if you have a license under Software Assurance. If you have a need for this, you can contact us via the product enquiry.
