How Windows Server is priced

Windows Server list price varies by four axes — edition (Standard vs Datacenter), version (2016, 2019, 2022, 2025), core count (2-core packs bundled) and licensing channel (OEM, ESD, Open Value, CSP). Standard is licensed per 16 cores and includes 2 OSEs; Datacenter is licensed the same way but allows unlimited VMs on the physical host.

  • Standard 16-core (Windows Server 2022) — starts at ₹80,900 for the OEM DVD Pack; volume / CSP pricing typically lands 8 – 14 % lower.
  • Datacenter 16-core (Windows Server 2022) — starts at ₹5,80,000 for the OEM DVD Pack; ideal for virtualisation-heavy Hyper-V or VMware hosts.
  • User CAL (2022) — approximately ₹3,300 – ₹3,800 per user.
  • Device CAL (2022) — approximately ₹3,100 – ₹3,600 per device.
  • RDS User CAL / RDS Device CAL — approximately ₹12,000 – ₹14,500 per seat.

Which Windows Server edition should I buy?

Pick Standard if you run 1 – 2 VMs per physical host, a domain controller, a file server, or a small SQL / IIS workload. Pick Datacenter if you virtualise heavily (5+ VMs per host), use Storage Replica, Shielded VMs, or run VDI. Datacenter also unlocks Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) and Software-Defined Networking.

For CALs — pick User CAL when users log in from multiple devices (typical office); pick Device CAL when many users share the same device (call centre, factory shift, kiosk).

What is the price of Windows Server 2022 Standard in India?
Windows Server 2022 Standard 16-core OEM DVD Pack list price in India is approximately ₹80,900 including 18 % GST. Volume licensing (Open Value) and CSP typically reduce this by 8 – 14 %. Call +91 85276 94100 for an exact quote on your core count.
How many CALs do I need for Windows Server?
You need one CAL per user (User CAL) OR per device (Device CAL) that accesses the server — whichever is fewer. For example, if 50 employees share 20 shop-floor devices, 20 Device CALs is cheaper than 50 User CALs. If 20 employees use both a laptop and a desktop, 20 User CALs is cheaper than 40 Device CALs.
Is Windows Server 2025 available in India?
Yes — Windows Server 2025 Standard and Datacenter are available in India through INDIA ENTERPRISES from November 2024 onwards, in both OEM DVD Pack and Volume (Open Value) channels. CALs for 2025 are backwards-compatible with 2022, 2019 and 2016 servers.
Do you provide GST invoice for Windows Server licenses?
Yes — every Windows Server license we ship in India comes with a GST-compliant tax invoice showing our GSTIN, HSN 998434 (for software licenses) and the applicable 18 % IGST or CGST+SGST breakup. This makes the license fully eligible for input-tax credit.
What's cheaper — OEM, Open Value or CSP for Windows Server?
OEM DVD Pack has the lowest sticker price but is tied to one physical machine and non-transferable. Open Value (5+ seats, 3-year) is 8 – 14 % cheaper than OEM and includes Software Assurance (free version upgrades). CSP is monthly-billed and about 4 – 8 % more expensive than OEM but offers no lock-in and per-seat flexibility.
