Description
Windows Server 2019 Essentials: the entry-level server licence for small businesses
Lay the foundation for central data management with Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Essentials. This edition is designed specifically for the needs of micro and small businesses with up to 25 employees. It offers the core features of a fully fledged Windows Server, such as Active Directory for user management and central file and print services, in a simple, affordable licensing model. The key advantage: no separate Client Access Licences (CALs) are required. Buy your perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and get started with your first professional server.
Important changes and core features in Windows Server 2019 Essentials
Windows Server 2019 Essentials has changed fundamentally compared with earlier versions. It now provides the full functionality of Windows Server 2019 Standard at its core, but with specific licensing restrictions.
Traditional server roles
Use the proven, stable features of a fully fledged Windows Server:
- Active Directory Domain Services: Manage all the users and computers on your network centrally. Enforce Group Policy to standardise security and configurations.
- File and storage services: Provide central folders for shared data access across your business.
- Print services: Manage all your network printers from one central place.
Modern management with Windows Admin Center
Although the classic Essentials dashboard has been removed, you can easily manage your server using the modern, browser-based Windows Admin Center. This makes configuration and system health monitoring much easier and allows simple connection to Azure hybrid services.
Simple licensing without CALs or core counting
- No CALs needed: The licence already covers access for up to 25 users and 50 devices. You avoid the cost and complexity of managing CALs.
- No core licensing: Unlike the Standard edition, Essentials is licensed per server rather than by CPU core (limited to servers with a maximum of 2 CPUs).
If your business grows and you need more than 25 users or want virtualisation rights, upgrading to Windows Server 2019 Standard (incl. CALs) is the next logical step.

Leider haben die links aus dem shopify system, nicht funktioniert. Rechnung, AGB etc kam prompt.
Support hat die Lizenz und DL links in 2 Tickets nachgeliefert, doch für mich war das leider zu spät da ich die Installation am Wochenende geplant hatte, und alternativ anderswo nochmals kaufen musste.
Werde ihnen jedoch bei Gelegenheit nochmals eine change geben.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference from older Essentials versions (e.g. 2016)?
The key difference is that the "Windows Server Essentials Experience" role has been removed. This means the simplified dashboard, automatic client backup and preconfigured "Anywhere Access" are no longer included. Management is now done through the standard Windows Admin Center.
How is Windows Server 2019 Essentials licensed? Is it core-based too?
No, Windows Server 2019 Essentials is the exception to core licensing. It is licensed per server and is limited to hardware with a maximum of two processor sockets. You do not need to count or license individual CPU cores.
What happens if my business grows to more than 25 employees?
The Essentials edition is strictly limited to 25 users and 50 devices. If you exceed this, you need to migrate to Windows Server 2019 Standard, which requires a new server licence and buying CALs for all your users or devices.
Can I use Hyper-V on an Essentials Server 2019?
The Essentials licence allows you to install the Hyper-V role but grants no virtualisation rights. This means you may run Essentials as a virtual guest on another host, but you may not virtualise any other server operating systems on the Essentials host.
Who is this version right for?
It is perfect for small businesses (e.g. law firms, practices, trades businesses) with up to 25 employees who need their very first server for central file storage, print services and user management, and want to avoid the cost and complexity of CALs.
