Hi @adil

1) "Is SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is good choise for now for Production use?"

Depends on your requirements. The SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is the newest version (instead of calling it SharePoint Server 2021). I would recommend moving to this product as it will have all of the newest updates.

You can move directly from SharePoint 2016 to SPSE.

Upgrade to SharePoint Server Subscription Edition

2) Note thant I have SharePoint 2019 EnterPrise Licence and for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is additional licencing i required?"

Yes, you will require licensing for SharePoint Serve Subscription Edition. You will need to do this through Microsoft.

You can download SPSE for a trial period to test out the product:
