4 6 7 Product overview 2016 feature differentiation and core-based pricing 2016 is the cloud-ready operating system that supports your current workloads, while introducing new technologies that make it easy to transition to cloud computing when you re ready. It delivers powerful new layers of security along with Azure-inspired innovation for the applications and infrastructure that power your business licensing model The 2016 licensing model includes both Cores + Client Access Licenses (CALs). Each user and/or device accessing a licensed Standard, Datacenter or Multipoint edition requires a CAL or a and a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CAL. A CAL gives a user or device the right to access any edition of of the same or earlier version. Each Window CAL allows access to multiple licenses of. Feature Datacenter Standard Core functionality of OSEs / Hyper-V containers containers Unlimited 2 Unlimited Unlimited After the General Availability of 2016, the business model for Standard and Datacenter editions will transition from processor-based to core-based licensing. Core-based licensing provides a more consistent licensing metric across multi-cloud environments, improves workload portability for through benefits like Azure Hybrid Use Benefit, and helps remove friction across different licensing models. Editions Licensing model CAL requirements * 2016 Datacenter 2016 Standard 2016 Essentials Core-based Core-based Processor-based CAL CAL No CAL required Editions overview 2016 editions have been streamlined to better support today s changing business requirements will be released in the following editions: 2016 Datacenter: For highly virtualised datacentre and cloud environments Standard: For physical or minimally virtualised environments Essentials: For small businesses with up to 25 users and 50 devices. Essentials is a good option for customers using the Foundation edition, which is not available for MultiPoint Premium : Enables multiple users to access one computer; available only for academic licensing*. Storage 2016: For dedicated OEM storage solutions. Available in Standard and Workgroup editions through the OEM channel. Microsoft Hyper-V 2016: Free hypervisor download. Features exclusive to the Datacenter edition include Shielded Virtual Machines, software-defined networking, Storage Spaces Direct and Storage Replica. Standard Edition includes rights to two Operating System Environments (OSEs, or virtual machines) or Hyper-V containers. Datacenter Edition includes unlimited OSEs and Hyper-V containers. Azure Hybrid Use Benefit When you re ready to transition workloads to the public cloud, you can leverage your existing investment in. The Azure Hybrid Use Benefit lets you bring your on-premises license with Software Assurance to Azure. Rather than paying the full price for a new virtual machine, you will pay only the base compute rate.

5 8 9 Core-based licensing: 2016 Standard and Datacenter Processor to core conversion: core grants All physical cores in the server must be licensed. s are licensed based on the number of processor cores in the physical server. A minimum of 16 core licenses is required for each server. A minimum of 8 core licenses is required for each physical processor. Core licenses will be sold in packs of two. Eight 2-core packs will be the minimum required to license each physical server. The 2-core pack for each edition is one-eighth the price of a 2-processor license for corresponding 2012 R2 editions. Standard Edition provides rights for up to two OSEs or Hyper-V containers when all physical cores in the server are licensed. For every two additional VMs, all the cores in the server have to be licensed again. The price of 16-core licenses of 2016 Datacenter and Standard edition will be the same price as the 2-processor license of the corresponding editions of the 2012 R2 version. Number of 2-core pack licenses needed Minimum 8 cores/processor; 16 cores/server. Processors per server Physical cores per processor Licensing costs Additional licensing required Standard edition may need additional licensing Moving to core-based licensing After the General Availability of 2016, the transition from processor-based licensing to core-based licensing will not affect customers with Software Assurance until renewal of the agreement. After 2016 General Availability and prior to renewal of the agreement, licenses with Software Assurance may upgrade to 2016 at any time. After 2016 General Availability and at renewal of the agreement, licenses with Software Assurance will transition to core-based licensing. On-premises customers with Software Assurance will be granted a minimum of 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server licenses for each 2-processor license at renewal of the agreement. Service providers will be granted a minimum of 8 core licenses for each 1-processor license with Software Assurance at renewal of the agreement. Customers with Standard Edition licenses and Software Assurance assigned to 4-processor servers running more than two OSEs will receive license grants to cover the additional OSEs. If no inventory is done, grants of 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server (8, 2-core packs) will be provided for each 2-processor license with Software Assurance. How core grants work Customers will receive core grants at the time of renewal after 2016 General Availability. Core grants will be provided for servers with greater than 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server. At the end of the current agreement term, Microsoft recommends customers inventory their environment using appropriate tools, including Software Inventory Logging (SIL), or third-party inventory tools and share the inventory data with Microsoft. Inventory data to be shared with Microsoft should include date-stamped documentation of servers, processors, and cores for all production hardware on which is installed. Customers who do not perform the self-inventory will receive 8 core licenses per processor and 16 cores per server for each Standard & Enterprise edition license for servers they currently own. Existing customers servers under Software Assurance will receive core grants as required, with documentation. To support the transition of customers with Software Assurance to 2016, core grants will be provided for existing licensed servers. For servers with <8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server: Customers will receive a minimum of 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server There will be no impact on price compared to the 2012 R2 2-processor price. The price of 16-core licenses of 2016 Datacenter and Standard editions will be the same price as the 2-processor license of the corresponding editions of the 2012 R2 version. For servers with >8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server: Customers will receive core grants for servers with greater than 8 cores per processor and 16 cores per server Customers pay Software Assurance on incremental cores.

6 10 General availability Renewals On processor-based licensing: Renewals prior to 2016 will stay on the processor-based model for the life of the agreement. Renewals On core-based licensing: Customers will transition to core-based licensing. Before 2016 GA True-up On processor-based licensing: True-ups before 2016 GA will be processor-based until the next renewal. After 2016 GA True-up Before renewal: True-ups will be processor-based and will continue to be processorbased until the next renewal. After renewal: True-ups will be core-based after renewals that take place after 2016 GA. Servicing guidelines for 2016 The servicing model depends on the installation option the customer selects. Customers who choose the Nano installation option will opt into a more active servicing model similar to the experience with 10. Specifically, these periodic releases are known as Current Branch for Business (CBB) releases. This approach supports customers who are moving at a cloud cadence of rapid development lifecycles and wish to innovate more quickly. Since this type of servicing continues to provide new features and functionality, Software Assurance is required to deploy and operate Nano in production. Customers who choose to install 2016 with Desktop Experience or Core will be on the Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) model, which comes with 5 years of mainstream support and 5 years of extended support. Installation Option LTSB servicing model CBB servicing model with Desktop Experience Yes No Core Yes No Nano No Yes For more information about 2016, visit windowsserver2016
