What are cores? What do I need them for?
The Windows Server 2019 licensing model features both Cores and CALs. Every user or device must have either a Windows Server CAL or a Windows Server and RDS CAL to access the licensed server, which can be an expensive investment for your business.
With our product you get 24 cores added instantly, making it easier for business owners looking at scaling their businesses by expanding employee numbers under one company name.
Is an Open License beneficial for me?
If you're looking for the best software licensing options, yes. Microsoft’s Open Licensing Program is designed specifically with smaller businesses in mind and offers them an affordable option that doesn't require a large investment up front or monthly fees.
For businesses with 2-250 computers, the Open Licensing Program is perfect because it allows you to choose an option best suited for your company: either open license or pay as you go plan.
If you’re not interested in paying every time new software updates come out and want more flexibility than one year terms can provide, then Microsoft License with Software Assurance might be right for you!
What is Software Assurance?
