Discover Windows Public Cloud Infomaniak Licenses

This guide gives you some information about Windows licenses for Public Cloud Infomaniak.

Windows License Information

As a Microsoft Partner, Infomaniak automatically provides and invoices Microsoft licenses for the following OS:

• Windows Server 2019 standard and datacenter
• Windows Server 2022 standard and datacenter
• Windows Server 2025 standard and datacenter

Invoicing is based on the number of VCPUs in the proceeding.

The license belongs to Infomaniak, it is not the property of the customer. It starts when the client uses one of these versions of Windows Server and stops when the instance is destroyed.

There is no invoicing of licences in the event of a break or discontinuance of the proceeding.

As a Microsoft partner, Infomaniak provides on Public Cloud, via Horizon or the Openstack CLI, corresponding pre-activated images. In the event of a failure of activation, be aware of this other guide on this subject.

As a Microsoft partner, Infomaniak does not authorize the use of a customer's personal license (or Bring Your Own License). In the case of use of its own license, Infomaniak automatically makes available and invoices the licenses provided by Infomaniak. The client can then activate his OS via the activation procedure.

As a Microsoft partner, non-use of licenses (i.e. a 180-day Evaluation version) is not allowed either. These versions are intended for testing in an internal environment. In the case of a use of an evaluation version, Infomaniak automatically makes available and invoices the licenses provided by Infomaniak. The client can then activate his OS, via the process of converting an evaluation version into an enabled normal version.

If you are using Microsoft software within Windows Server that requires a Mobility License, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Sharepoint Server or Microsoft Exchange Server, you must submit the document from Software Insurance via the contact form Infomaniak.
