Buy a genuine Windows Server 2022 license key — Standard or Datacenter — with instant email delivery. Core-based licensing, 180-day guarantee.
Windows Server 2022 is the safest current choice for a new deployment, with broad compatibility across modern hardware and software. We sell genuine, individual license keys — order online and your key arrives by email, no procurement process or sales call required.
Standard edition licenses a limited number of virtual machines per license on the covered cores (check your specific listing for the exact VM count) — a good fit for single-server or lightly-virtualized setups.
Datacenter edition licenses unlimited virtual machines on the licensed hardware, making it the better value for heavily virtualized or hyper-converged environments. Compare the cost of multiple Standard licenses against a single Datacenter license based on how many VMs you actually plan to run.
Windows Server 2022 licensing is core-based — confirm the core count each listing covers matches your physical or virtual core count before you buy.
Windows Server 2022 builds on 2019 with expanded security features (including secured-core server support on compatible hardware) and updated hybrid-cloud integration with Azure. If you're already running 2019 and it's meeting your needs, there's no requirement to upgrade — but 2022 is the better starting point for a new deployment.
Backed by our 180-day guarantee — if it doesn't activate, we replace it or refund you.
No — the server key activates the operating system itself. CALs, where required, are listed and sold separately.
Yes, subject to the virtual machine limit your specific license (Standard or Datacenter) covers.
For a single physical server hosting one or two VMs, Standard edition is typically the more cost-effective choice. For anything more heavily virtualized, compare against Datacenter pricing.
