This is the retail edition of Windows Server Standard 2016, and can be used for one PC / Server.

Inside the box is the licenses for up to 512 CPU Cores and 50 CALs (Standard) + the installation DVD

RDS CALs are not included, and - if needed - must be purchased individually.

Language: US English included, but the license can be used on any language.

Windows Server 2016 is 64 Bit only.

The Standard Edition of Windows Server is a functional server operating system for users that need a robust system; this system includes virtualization but imposes limits. The Standard Edition installation allows the user to create two virtual machines and one Hyper-V host.

The Standard Edition can also host containers, which allows the user to deploy different applications; these containers share the server resources, but there is not a level of security between them. In addition to an unlimited number of Windows containers, two Hyper-V containers may be implemented. Containers are helpful when deploying cloud-born applications that have smaller, disposable parts that do not require complex customization.

Windows Server Standard Edition does not provide storage replicas, which are blocks of data that are gathered and stored to protect from data loss; since files are not the backed up information, files can be in use while replication occurs.

The Standard Edition allows for inherited activation as a guest, which occurs when the server is hosted at a data center.

Installation of Windows Server 2016 is supported on x64 processors only. It is no longer supported on x86 processors.

The Main Picture is promotional only, the photos of the Shrink Wrapped DVD Case is the actual item.

The software comes with Retail License, making them good in a production setup.

If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to ask. We will do all we can to answer you within one business day.

Many sellers only sell the license and link, we also did that in the beginning, but more and more customers wanted the installation DVD also, so we found a new distributor, which also supplied that. Our customers are very happy with this solution. So there is no problem with the software and license at all.

If you rather want the license and link, we can open a box and send it to you instead, please tell us right after you place the order. In that case, you will receive the license much, much faster, and if you want, we can still ship the box to you. If not, we will trash it so the license won't be sold again.
