Frequently asked questions
How is Windows Server 2016 Essentials licensed? Is it core-based too?
No. Windows Server 2016 Essentials is the exception to core-based licensing. It continues to be licensed on a processor basis. One licence covers one physical server with up to two processor sockets (CPUs), regardless of the number of cores per processor.
What is the biggest advantage of Server 2016 Essentials compared with the previous version, 2012 R2?
The key advantage is deeper integration with cloud services. The seamless connection to Azure Active Directory and Microsoft 365 (Office 365) makes managing users in hybrid environments (on-premises and cloud) much easier.
Can I use Hyper-V to run virtual machines on the Essentials server?
No. The Essentials edition cannot be used as a Hyper-V host. This means you cannot run other virtual servers on it. However, the licence allows you to install the Essentials edition itself as one virtual machine on another server (e.g. a host running Server Standard).
What happens if my business grows and we need more than 25 users?
Essentials is limited to 25 users and 50 devices. If you exceed this limit, you must move to Windows Server 2016 Standard. This requires a new licence and the additional purchase of CALs for all your users or devices.
Does automatic backup also work with Windows 10 and 11 clients?
The Windows Server Essentials Connector, which is required for automatic client backup, is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10. With Windows 11, compatibility problems may occur; alternative backup methods are recommended here.
