Windows licenses for Public Cloud Infomaniak

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

Windows licensing information

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

• Windows Server 2019 standard and data center
• Windows Server 2022 standard and data center

Billing is based on the number of VCPUs in the instance.

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

There is no billing for licenses in the event of a pause or shutdown of the instance.

As a Microsoft partner, Infomaniak provides on Public Cloud, via Horizon or the Openstack CLI, corresponding pre-activated images. In the event of an activation fault, read this guide (click here) .

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

As a Microsoft partner, non-use of licenses (i.e. a 180 day evaluation version) is not permitted either. These versions are for testing purposes in an internal environment. In the case of using an evaluation version, Infomaniak automatically makes available and invoices the licenses provided by Infomaniak. The customer can then activate their OS, via the procedure for transforming an evaluation version into a normal activated version.

If you use Microsoft software within Windows Server requiring a Mobility License, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Sharepoint Server or Microsoft Exchange Server, you must send us the Software Assurance document via our contact form.
