About this licence

For use with Dell servers

This licence is an additional core licence intended to expand the core coverage of a server already licensed for Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard edition on supported Dell hardware. It allows you to add an additional block of 16 processor cores beyond the base licence capacity.

The product is listed as “no media / no key” and is supplied as a non-transferable add-on licence rather than a full server licence on its own.

Use Case

This licence is used when a Dell server already running Windows Server 2022 Standard reaches or exceeds the core count of the original licence, and you need to legally license additional cores. For example, if your server originally had a 16-core licence and you upgrade CPUs or add cores to reach 32 cores, you could apply this 16-core add-on licence to cover the additional cores.

Important notes

Add-on Licensing: This licence is not a standalone full server licence; it must be applied in conjunction with an existing Windows Server 2022 Standard licence covering the initial cores. It only covers additional cores.

No Media/Key: The listing indicates “no media/key”, meaning deployment is via licensed hardware bundles or OEM/ROK channels rather than standalone retail packaging.

Hardware Specific: The licence is intended for Dell server hardware scenarios and may be subject to eligibility criteria or OEM/ROK terms. Ensure compatibility and compliance with Dell hardware and regional licensing requirements.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this licence on a new server without any base licence?
A: No. This licence is an add-on block of 16 cores and requires an existing Windows Server 2022 Standard licence covering your initial cores. It cannot act as a standalone full server licence.

Q: What happens if my server has more than 16 additional cores?
A: If your server’s core count exceeds the number of cores already covered plus the 16 additional cores of this licence, you will need further additional core licences or upgrade to an edition covering unlimited cores (such as the Datacenter edition) to remain compliant.

Q: Do I still need CALs (Client Access Licences)?
A: Yes. This licence covers only the server operating system core licensing. Client Access Licences (CALs) may still be required for users or devices connecting to the server depending on your deployment scenario.
