Windows Server 2016 License
A Windows Server 2016 licence is a one-time purchase covering one server. Server 2016 introduced Nano Server, Shielded VMs and native container support.
Standard and Datacenter are licensed by physical core; count the cores before you order, or send us the server model and we will confirm it for you. Remember that users and devices connecting to the server need CALs in addition to the server licence.

Windows Server 2016 — frequently asked questions
How many cores does this cover?
Each listing states the core coverage in its title and specification table. Windows Server is licensed by physical core with a minimum of 16 per server, so check your hardware first — or ask us.
Standard or Datacenter?
Identical features; the difference is virtualisation. Standard covers two virtual machines per licence, Datacenter is unlimited. Heavy virtualisation makes Datacenter the cheaper option.
Do I need CALs as well?
Yes, for most deployments. The server licence covers the operating system; CALs cover the users or devices that connect. We sell both — ask us and we will work out the combination you need.
How quickly will I get my product key?
Within minutes of your payment clearing. Your key, the official Microsoft download link and activation instructions all arrive in one email.
Are these genuine Microsoft licences?
Yes. Every key is a genuine Microsoft licence and comes with full activation support. Vaneyo is an authorized reseller and holds a Microsoft partnership certificate.
Is it a one-time payment?
Yes. You pay once and the licence is yours — no subscription, no renewal date, no recurring charges.
