Question 1

Can I buy a product directly from the Server Software category?

Accepted Answer

No, this category has no product of its own — it's a guide page. Choose the Windows Server Standard, Windows Server Datacenter or SQL Server sub-category that matches your needs.

Question 2

How quickly are Windows Server and SQL Server licences delivered?

Accepted Answer

Your licence key is usually emailed within 1-90 minutes of payment confirmation.

Question 3

How soon do I need to activate the key after receiving it?

Accepted Answer

You must activate your key on your server within 1 day (24 hours) of delivery, otherwise you may run into activation problems.

Question 4

Can I reuse the key if I reformat the server?

Accepted Answer

No. Server and SQL Server keys are issued for a one-time activation; the same key cannot be reused after a reformat.

Question 5

Is the licence valid for life?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once activation is complete your licence remains valid for the life of that server.

Question 6

Do you issue corporate invoices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every server and SQL Server purchase includes an e-invoice; just provide your company name and tax ID at checkout.
