Description
Windows Server 2022 Datacenter as a used volume license, licensed by physical processor core. Covers an unlimited number of virtual instances on the licensed hardware.
Where the saving is greatest
Datacenter is among the most expensive items in the Microsoft range. The gap to list price is correspondingly large when you buy used. On a virtualization host with many cores, the difference reaches an order of magnitude that is a budget item in its own right. In your quote, we compare it with the current list price.
When Datacenter is the right choice
From roughly the fifth or sixth virtual machine on the same hardware, as well as for any setup designed for further growth. Up to two virtual machines, Standard is cheaper. Describe your plans and we will compare both options.

Frequently asked questions about this offer
Why is no price shown here?
Because the price depends on the quantity and on the individual purchase. Tell us the quantity you need and you will receive a written quote with volume tiers and a binding validity period.
Is this license technically identical to a new one?
Yes. It is the same software with the same features and the same updates, for as long as the version is in support. The difference lies solely in how it was acquired, not in the product.
Which documents do I receive?
The license agreement in your company's name, the transfer declaration covering your quantity, the previous owner's deletion confirmation and evidence of the chain of title. These documents are part of the delivery and cost nothing extra.
What happens if the quantity I need is unavailable?
Then we tell you before you start planning. The shortfall can often be sourced at short notice; where that is not realistic, we suggest an alternative or advise against it. We do not make commitments we cannot keep.
Do I need additional client access licenses (CALs)?
For server products, usually yes; for desktop software, no. What applies in this case is shown in the license details above. Tell us the number of users or devices and we will work out the requirement with you.
