Windows Server 2022 Essentials: the secure all-in-one server solution for small businesses

Lay a future-proof foundation for your IT with Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Essentials. This operating system is the ideal first-server solution for small businesses with up to 25 employees and 50 devices. It combines the latest security features of the 2022 generation with an extremely simple licensing model. The key cost advantage: you need no separate Client Access Licences (CALs). Buy your perpetual licence from Vollversion-Software and get maximum security with minimum complexity.

The core features of Windows Server 2022 Essentials

This edition offers the core features of a full Windows Server, packaged in a licence tailored to small environments.

Security first

Benefit from the same multi-layered security innovations as the larger editions and proactively protect your business data.

  • Secured-core server principles: Provides protection from the hardware (TPM 2.0) through the boot process to the operating system, defending against sophisticated attacks.
  • Secure connections: TLS 1.3 and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) are used by default, giving you encrypted, protected network connections.
  • AES-256 encryption for SMB: Secure the traffic on your network with the strongest encryption standard.

Easy management & proven server roles

You can manage your server professionally even without a dedicated IT department.

  • Windows Admin Center: Use the modern, browser-based tool to manage users, shares and updates intuitively and to monitor system health.
  • Key server roles: Provide core services such as Active Directory for user management, plus file and print services for your team.

The unbeatable Essentials licensing model

Maximum simplicity and cost control for small budgets.

  • No CALs needed: The licence already covers access for up to 25 users and 50 devices.
  • Simple server licensing: No complicated counting of CPU cores. The licence applies per server (limited to hardware with a maximum of 1 CPU and 10 cores).

If your business grows and you need more than 25 users or virtualisation rights, upgrading to Windows Server 2022 Standard (incl. CALs) is the next logical step.

Frequently asked questions

How is Windows Server 2022 Essentials licensed? Is it core-based?

The licensing is a special case: it is not core-based like the Standard/Datacenter editions. The licence applies per physical server, but limits it to hardware with a maximum of one processor (1 CPU) and a maximum of 10 cores.

Are the simplified management features such as the "Essentials Dashboard" included again?

No. As with version 2019, the "Windows Server Essentials Experience" role has been removed. Management is done instead through the powerful, modern, browser-based Windows Admin Center.

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 may not run other virtual servers on it. However, the licence does allow you to install the Essentials edition itself as one virtual machine on another host.

What happens if my business goes over the limit of 25 users?

Essentials is limited to 25 users and 50 devices. If you exceed this limit, you must migrate to Windows Server 2022 Standard, which requires a new server licence and buying CALs for all your users or devices.

Who is this version right for?

It is perfect for small businesses (e.g. law firms, medical practices and businesses in the skilled trades) with up to 25 employees that need their very first server for central file storage, print services and user management, and want to avoid the cost and complexity of CALs.
