windows server (standard) licence more than 16 cores. How it works?

Hy!

How does windows server additional core licence works? My server has 2 CPU 16core/CPU. So I need to buy a licence for 32 core. Server 2019 standard licence (P73-07791) good for 16 core. I still have to buy a licence for 16 core.

  1. can I buy the same type of licence for this?
  2. OR do I need to buy a different type of licence for this?

thanks, F


Solution 1:

First is correct, you have to purchase, in this case, two 16-pack core licenses. Quick reference here.

Also, check whether the services you are going to provide with your Windows servers do require CALs or MLs for clients, as they likely do.
