Can An Open License Be Transferred To Anotehr Server
I found that Open Licenses can be transferred by filling up this form and submit to Microsoft. They can be transferred or sold again. In the case of FPP you also might look how often they can be transferred. Check the terms of the license for that information. – Ramhound Apr 23 '16 at 12:15.
I do not find on the internet somewhere where I can buy Windows Server 2012 Standard which is not OEM. I do not want to buy OEM because I fear hardware failure (CPU, hard disk, motherboard).
- Transfer Microsoft Open License to different Live ID? The problem is that it was ordered by another reseller and registered under the reseller's Live ID. So the customer doesn't have direct access to downloads/keys at the Volume Licensing Service Center.
- 1) Add RDP licensing server role to new server 2) At each RD Session Host server (this is the terminal/RDP server), open up the RD Session Host configuration dialog and add the new licensing server as an additional license server. (You can see it in the first file I have attached).
I am looking for a license other than volume licensing which permits me to move my license to another server if I experience :
- hardware failure
- hardware upgrade
Can An Open License Be Transferred To Anotehr Server Free
Is the Windows Server 2012 Standard on the Microsoft Store an OEM version? Everywhere (Amazon, etc...), it's specified that it's an OEM version.
Or is there only OEM and Volume licensing?

The OEM licenses you are seeing on the internet are system builder licenses, and those could not be migrated on hardware failure.
The license you linked to is a retail version of Windows Server, and it is perfectly fine to remove that copy of Windows Server and install it on new hardware, as long as you uninstall the old copy. That is the license you are looking for, however, note that it costs roughly four times as much as an OEM license. IMHO, it would only be cost effective to get a retail copy if you expect your hardware to fail four times.
