About This Deal
Microsoft Windows Server is the current-generation desktop operating system from Microsoft. This Groupon deal provides a lifetime activation key for either Windows Server or Windows Server — a one-time purchase tied to a single PC, with no subscription fees and no expiry date. Choose Pro for advanced security, remote management, and virtualization; choose Home for everyday computing with the modern Windows Server interface.
Windows Server Standard — 2022 ($22.99) or 2025 ($25.99)
The entry-level Windows Server edition for organisations running up to 2 virtual machines. Ideal for SMBs, small file servers, and hybrid cloud setups with Azure. Both 2022 and 2025 versions are one-time perpetual licenses with no subscription.
- Core Windows Server OS — GUI (Desktop Experience) + Server Core installation modes
- Up to 2 Hyper-V VMs included — each VM requires a separate Windows Server licence
- Azure Arc & hybrid integration — manage on-prem servers from Azure portal
- Secured-core server features — firmware protection, DRTM, VBS (2022 & 2025)
- WS 2025 adds: Hotpatching support, improved SMB compression, enhanced security baselines
Windows Server Datacenter — 2022 ($22.99) or 2025 ($25.99)
Unlimited virtualisation rights and the full enterprise feature set. Designed for large-scale private clouds, hyper-converged infrastructure, and mission-critical workloads. Same price as Standard at this deal — an exceptional value for virtualisation-heavy environments.
- Unlimited Hyper-V VM rights — run as many VMs as your hardware supports
- Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) — software-defined storage with NVMe/SSD tiering
- Shielded Virtual Machines — TPM-backed VM encryption and integrity protection
- Software-Defined Networking (SDN) — full network virtualisation with Host Guardian Service
- WS 2025 adds: GPU partitioning for VMs, improved Network ATC, NVMe-oF storage support
RDS 50 Device CAL — 2022 ($34.99) or 2025 ($39.99)
Licences 50 specific devices to connect to Windows Server Remote Desktop Services. Best when the same physical workstations always connect to the server — the CAL is tied to the device, not the user, so multiple people can share a device without additional licences.
- 50 device connections — any user can log in from those 50 authorised devices
- Works with WS 2022 and WS 2025 — compatible with any Standard or Datacenter licence from this deal
- Enables RemoteApp — stream individual apps rather than full desktops
- Ideal for shared workstations — e.g. shift workers, hot-desking environments
RDS 50 User CAL — 2022 ($34.99) or 2025 ($39.99)
Licences 50 named users to connect to Windows Server Remote Desktop Services from any device. Best for employees who connect from laptops, phones, or home PCs — the CAL follows the person, not the machine.
- 50 named users — each user can connect from an unlimited number of personal devices
- Works with WS 2022 and WS 2025 — compatible with any Standard or Datacenter licence from this deal
- Enables full RDS session hosting — virtual desktops and RemoteApp delivery
- Ideal for remote & hybrid workers — connect from home, office, or mobile
