Genuine, legal and guaranteed

Genuine retail licence

Every key is a genuine Microsoft product key, recycled from businesses that have upgraded or closed down. Once activated you receive Microsoft updates and security patches for as long as Microsoft supports that version, exactly like a brand-new retail licence.

Legal to buy and own

Reselling genuine, pre-owned software licences is legal under the first-sale doctrine (17 U.S.C. § 109). You are buying a real, transferable licence, not a copy.

Activation guaranteed

Online and telephone activation are both supported. If a key ever fails to activate, including being reported as already used, we replace it free of charge and stay with you until your product is fully activated. In the rare event we cannot get you activated, we will put it right.

About Windows Server 2016 - Datacenter 64 Core

Windows Server 2016 Datacenter is the top edition of Windows Server 2016, built for virtualization hosts and private cloud infrastructure. This 64-core license covers 64 physical processor cores. Like Standard, Datacenter is licensed per core: you must license every physical core, with a minimum of 8 per processor and 16 per server. A dual-processor host with two 10-core CPUs therefore needs 20 core licenses, while a host with two 4-core CPUs still needs 16.

The main reason to choose Datacenter is unlimited virtualization. When all physical cores are licensed, you can run as many Windows Server virtual machines and Hyper-V containers on that host as the hardware allows. Standard only allows two VMs per full set of core licenses, so Datacenter becomes the more practical option on dense hosts. The license covers the server software only. Users and devices still need Windows Server CALs, purchased separately.

Several Windows Server 2016 features are available only in Datacenter: Storage Spaces Direct for hyper-converged storage, Storage Replica for synchronous replication between servers or sites, shielded virtual machines with Host Guardian Hyper-V support, and the Network Controller for software-defined networking. Datacenter hosts can also activate guest VMs through Automatic Virtual Machine Activation. Extended support for Windows Server 2016 ends January 12, 2027.

Windows Server 2016 - Datacenter 64 Core FAQ

Standard requires you to license every core of the host again for each additional pair of VMs. On a host running many Windows Server VMs, those stacked Standard licenses add up quickly. Datacenter covers unlimited VMs once, so compare both options for your core count and VM plan.
Not if the host runs Hyper-V on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. Automatic Virtual Machine Activation lets supported Windows Server guests activate against the host using Microsoft's published AVMA keys, so you do not need a separate key for each VM.
Yes. Windows Server licensing is based on the physical cores of the host, whatever hypervisor you use. License every physical core of the ESXi host with Datacenter and you can run unlimited Windows Server 2016 VMs on it.
Yes. Storage Spaces Direct, which pools local drives across clustered servers into shared storage, is a Datacenter-only feature in Windows Server 2016. Every node in a Storage Spaces Direct cluster must run Datacenter.
No. Core licenses cover the server. Each user or device that accesses it needs a Windows Server 2016 or later CAL, and Remote Desktop users also need RDS CALs, available at /rds-cal/rds-cal-2016.
