Extended Support and Reliability

Windows Server 2022 contains essential security updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements throughout the support period. This support means organizations will have a strong and secure server.
Windows Server 2022 Lifecycle:
Long-Term Planning and Investment
By choosing for a perpetual Windows Server 2022 license until 2031, organizations can align their IT strategies and investments with long-term goals. Because of the extended support period you can plan infrastructure upgrades, system integrations, and migrations without concerns of having to purchase new licensing models. This long-term planning returns strategic decision-making and maximizes return on investment.
Cost-Effectiveness
Perpetual licenses offer a cost-effective approach, as they require a one-time purchase instead of returning subscription payments. This means you can predict your costs and long-term savings, so allocating budgets can be done more efficiently. Since there is no need for continuous subscription renewals, the administration costs will reduce. This means there is a clearer view on what the overhead costs will be.

Perpetual licenses with Microsoft's volume licensing program: Flexibility and Customization

Applying Windows Server 2022 on your own hardware or infrastructure, provides the opportunity to customize it to your specific needs. This level of control allows for optimizing performance, security, and resource allocation, enabling organizations to meet their unique requirements effectively.
Within volume licensing, you can purchase several licenses for each Microsoft product, such as Windows, Office, Windows Server, or SQL, depending on the size of your organization and licensing needs.

Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
Perpetual licenses help organizations meet compliance and regulatory requirements. Industries such as finance, healthcare, and government have strict regulations that demand long-term support and specific software versions. Perpetual licenses ensure compliance without the need to navigate through time-limited subscriptions or potentially disruptive migrations for example.
Continuity and Stability
Adopting perpetual licenses ensures continuity and stability for an organization's server infrastructure. This way, organizations can keep competing with existing systems and applications, without doing updates or version changes. Therefore, critical business operations that rely on not being disrupted by updates can easily continue.
Volume Licenses can be purchased second-hand.
The Supreme Court of the European Union has ruled in its decision of 3 July 2012 C-128/11, that perpetual software licenses can be sold. This means that these licenses have a residual value and can be transferred to third parties. A perpetual software license issued at a single price can therefore be resold regardless of what is stated in the license.
