Licensing and compatibility
Server licensing can depend on physical processor cores and Client Access Licenses. Confirm the server configuration, workload, virtualization rights and CAL requirements before purchasing. This product does not automatically include CALs unless the listing explicitly states otherwise.
Installation and activation
Back up important server data before installation. Install the exact Standard edition that matches the supplied license channel and follow the online activation guidance. Evaluation editions may need to be converted to a compatible licensed edition first.
