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 - Standard 64 Core

Windows Server 2016 Standard is the general purpose edition of Windows Server 2016, used for Active Directory, file and print sharing, IIS web hosting and line of business applications. This 64-core license covers 64 physical processor cores. Microsoft licenses Standard per core, with a minimum of 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server, and every physical core in the machine must be licensed. A single-processor server with only 4 or 6 cores still needs 16 core licenses.

Once all physical cores are licensed, Standard lets you run two Windows Server virtual machines plus the Hyper-V host itself. To run two more VMs on the same host, you license every core a second time, so a 16-core host with four VMs needs 32 Standard core licenses. Hosts that will run many VMs are usually better served by Datacenter. Each user or device that connects to the server also needs a Windows Server CAL, which is separate from this core license.

Windows Server 2016 introduced Windows Server and Hyper-V containers, nested virtualization, the Nano Server option and Windows Defender Antivirus built into the operating system. In this version, Storage Spaces Direct, Storage Replica and shielded virtual machines are limited to Datacenter. Microsoft ended mainstream support on January 11, 2022, and extended support (security updates) ends January 12, 2027, so 2016 Standard is best for keeping an existing application or environment that specifically requires it.

Windows Server 2016 - Standard 64 Core FAQ

Count the physical cores in the server, then apply the minimums: at least 8 per processor and 16 per server. One 8-core processor needs 16 core licenses, and two 12-core processors need 24. Hyper-threading does not count, only physical cores do.
Yes. A fully licensed server can run two Windows Server VMs plus the Hyper-V host role. For every additional two VMs, license all of the host's physical cores again. If you need more than a few VMs on one host, compare the cost with Datacenter.
Yes. Each user or device that accesses the server needs a Windows Server CAL of version 2016 or later, bought separately. Users who connect through Remote Desktop Services also need RDS CALs, which you can find at /rds-cal/rds-cal-2016.
Windows Server 2016 is in extended support, which provides security updates until January 12, 2027. After that date Microsoft stops releasing updates. If you are building a new server that must stay patched for years, Windows Server 2022 or 2025 is a better choice.
The key appears on screen and in your email as soon as payment clears, and it is saved in My Account > Orders. Activate it online or by telephone. If activation fails, support sends a working replacement key free of charge.
