Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you should know before buying

Case law on used software

As the highest judicial authority of the European Union, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) provided final clarity with its ruling and declared the trading of used computer programs fundamentally lawful.

The CJEU also ruled that trading in used software is permissible even when the software is transferred online.

On July 17, 2013, the Federal Court of Justice fully confirmed the CJEU’s landmark decision with regard to the underlying legal questions. 

The CJEU ruling also applies to volume licenses and their splitting. This was confirmed by the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main in proceedings between Adobe and usedSoft.

In their reasoning, the 13 judges of the Grand Chamber clearly established that the exhaustion principle applies to every first sale of software. The CJEU even ruled that a subsequent purchaser may download the software again from the manufacturer in the case of licenses transferred online: “Furthermore, the exhaustion of the distribution right extends to the program copy in the version improved and updated by the copyright holder,” the CJEU stated. The Court thus went significantly beyond the opinion of the CJEU Advocate General of April 24, 2012.

VOLUME LICENSES AND THEIR SPLITTING ALSO LEGAL

In a later ruling by the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main in proceedings between Adobe and usedSoft, the further implications of the CJEU ruling were impressively confirmed: The Frankfurt Higher Regional Court held that the CJEU ruling also applies to volume license agreements and their splitting. The Federal Court of Justice dismissed Adobe’s appeal in its entirety on December 11, 2014 (Case No. I ZR 8/13). This conclusively confirmed the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court’s ruling.

Product information for Windows Server 2016 Standard

Windows Server 2016 Standard: Secure, user-friendly, resource-efficient, and powerful

Windows Server 2016 Standard is an excellent solution for networking computers securely, quickly, and efficiently. The system is also particularly resource-efficient. Companies that rely on older hardware should consider purchasing Windows Server 2016 Standard, as this software works seamlessly even with slightly older devices. This is made possible by the integration of cloud solutions in Windows Server Standard.

Buy Windows Server 2016: The most important information at a glance

  • Integration of cloud services
  • Compatibility with older systems
  • New licensing model
  • Support for virtual machines (VMs)
  • Ideal for the construction and operation of data centers
  • No need for new hardware

Variants of Windows Server 2016

Windows Server 2016 is available in three editions: Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter. While Essentials is aimed at individuals, freelancers, and small businesses, Datacenter is designed for large enterprises and data centers. Windows Server 2016 Standard targets the general public, including smaller data centers that operate between these two extremes.

Another reason why Windows Server 2016 Standard is an excellent choice for many midsize businesses is the fact that the software works with the same hardware configuration required for Windows Server 2012. Those who purchase Windows Server 2016 Standard can easily upgrade Hyper-V and file server clusters to the latest version without having to modify the hardware, which is often required with newer versions of the server operating system.

The integrated cloud services ensure that there are no performance losses. As a cloud provider, Microsoft provides the necessary computing power to work efficiently and enables backups to be created in the cloud. This protects companies from data loss due to hacker attacks or hardware failures.

Build your own data center

Windows Server 2016 Standard is ideal for setting up and operating your own data center. By comparison, the older version of the operating system supported up to 320 logical processors and 4 TB of memory. With the 2016 version, these numbers increase to up to 512 processors and 24 TB of memory, which is particularly important for businesses today.

New licensing model for Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard

Windows Server 2016 has changed the licensing model: Instead of the previous per-processor licensing model, licensing is now per core. A minimum of eight cores must be licensed per processor. This is advantageous for smaller data centers and medium-sized companies, as they typically use fewer processors with more cores. Compared to the previous model, this can result in cost savings.

System requirements - Windows Server 2016 Standard

  • Processor: 1.4 GHz 64-bit EMT64 or AMD64, quad-core recommended
  • Memory: 512 MB ECC supported memory modules and 800 MB for VM installations
  • Hard disk space: 32 GB for the Core, another 4 GB for the GUI
  • Disk Controller: PCI Express Compliant Disk Controller
