Lifetime guaranteeWhat you get
Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 — Standard and Datacenter editions, plus User and Device CALs, with genuine licensing and dispatch in minutes.
Windows Server powers Active Directory, file shares, Hyper-V virtualisation, Remote Desktop Services, IIS and SQL Server hosting in millions of organisations. A server licence covers the physical or virtual machine; Client Access Licenses (CALs) cover the users or devices that connect to it.
We stock Windows Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 in both Standard and Datacenter editions. Standard licences up to two virtual machines per server; Datacenter licences unlimited VMs and adds Storage Spaces Direct, Shielded VMs and Software-Defined Networking.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need CALs?+
Yes — Windows Server licences the server itself; every user or device that connects also needs a CAL. We sell 5/10/25/50-CAL packs.
Standard or Datacenter — which should I buy?+
Standard is right for ≤2 VMs per host. Pick Datacenter if you run more VMs or want Storage Spaces Direct, Shielded VMs or SDN features.
Can I activate offline?+
Yes. We can supply a confirmation ID via phone activation if the server has no internet. Most customers activate online in seconds.
Does this include SQL Server?+
No — SQL Server is a separate product. We stock SQL Server 2019, 2022 and 2025 alongside our server licences.
What about Azure Hybrid Benefit?+
Datacenter + Software Assurance lets you re-use on-premises licences in Azure. We can help you scope the right SKU.
