Server 2019 licence but using Server 2012 install.

C

ClintonWestwood

I have a 4 server network with the following.

2 x server 2008R2 2 x Server 2012 R2

The 2008 machines are being upgraded dou to 2008 EOL. Unfortunately, due to certain other software limitations. We can only upgrade to Server 2012R2.

I am purchasing Windows server 2019 Std and going to downgrade it to Server 2012R2. Can this be done?

Also, all user CALs are for 2012, can I still use the existing CALs as the whole network will be 2012? Or do I need to purchase 2019 CALs even though I'm not actually installing 2019?

Thanks
