Windows Server 2016 Essentials upgrade to Windows Server 2016 Standard

[Robin Atkinson NZ]

I had an OEM version of Windows Server 2016 Essentials installed.

I wanted to use Remote Desktop for 3 users, which essentials cant do.

I have installed an evaualtion of Windows Server 2016 Standard, and have got 3 users remote connecting to the server to run an accounting application.

Thats fine, i have purchased 3 cals for Windows Remote Desktop Services.

My question.

Can i upgrade from 2016 Essentials (which i bought) to Windows Server 2016 Standard, or do i have to buy a new Server 2016 license?


Cheers,


Robin
