Server 2019 Licensing

---

Hi Guys,

With Server 2019 due out soon, has anybody heard any rumblings of how MS are going to "confuse" the licensing in order make it different from previous models. Need to get some new datacenter licenses and planning to get 2019 versions.

Thanks

Mark

Mark,

I hope all is well. The short answer is:

Does Windows Server 2019 have the same licensing model as Windows Server 2016?

A: Yes, Server 2016 Licensing info is here :

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/windows-server-pricing

It is highly likely that there will be an increase in the pricing for Windows Server Client Access Licensing (CAL).
