Frequently asked questions
Who is Windows Server 2012 Standard still relevant for today?
This version is ideal for organisations that run specific legacy applications that are not compatible with newer operating systems. It is also a very affordable, resource-friendly solution for test environments or for basic services (e.g. file and print services) in networks where security is ensured by other measures.
What about Microsoft support and security updates for Server 2012?
Microsoft's official "Extended Support" for Windows Server 2012 ended in October 2023. This means there are no more regular security updates. It is therefore recommended for use in isolated network environments or for systems that have no direct connection to the internet.
Do I need separate client access licences (CALs) for Windows Server 2012 Standard?
Yes, a separate client access licence is required for every user (User CAL) or device (Device CAL) that accesses the server. The server licence itself only covers installation of the operating system. CALs are also available from us.
What is the difference between the Standard and Datacenter editions of Server 2012?
The main difference lies in the virtualisation rights. The Standard edition allows you to run up to two virtual machines (VMs) on the licensed host. The Datacenter edition, on the other hand, allows an unlimited number of VMs and is designed for highly virtualised environments.
Is this the "R2" version?
No, this is the original "Windows Server 2012 Standard" version. The "R2" version is a later, enhanced version with additional features, which you can also find in our shop.
