Windows Server 2025 Standard - Perpetual License

Windows Server 2025 is the current long-term servicing release of Microsoft's server operating system, built on the same platform as Windows 11 24H2 and supported for ten years. The Standard edition is the choice for physical servers and lightly virtualised environments: domain controllers, file and print servers, application and web servers, remote desktop hosts and small Hyper-V hosts. It includes rights for two Windows Server virtual machines on the licensed host plus unlimited Windows containers. If you need unlimited virtual machines, Storage Spaces Direct or Software-Defined Networking, choose the Datacenter edition instead.

This product is a license key for Windows Server 2025 Standard. You download the installation media from the Microsoft website, install the Standard edition (Desktop Experience or Server Core), enter the key and activate online. The license is perpetual and does not expire; no subscription is required.
