    Hi Brijen S.,

    the Microsoft Windows Server 2022 Standard (Evaluation) version is intended for evaluation purposes only and is not licensed for production use. It is designed to allow users to test and evaluate the features and functionality of the software before purchasing a license.

    If you are using the evaluation version for personal use to develop, test, and enhance your IT skills, then you are within the terms of the license agreement. However, if you plan to use it for any commercial or production purposes, you will need to purchase a valid license.

    I would recommend reviewing Windows Server 2022 | Microsoft Evaluation Center for more information on the terms and conditions of the evaluation version.

    Best regards,

    Lei
