Hi Mohamed Abdellahi Menkouss,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Purchase through official channels

Microsoft official website: The most direct way to buy from Microsoft official website or its authorized resellers. This ensures that you are getting a genuine license and enjoying the official support and subsequent updates provided by Microsoft.

2. Volume License Service Center (VLSC)

If your organization has signed a Volume License Agreement with Microsoft: you can get the license key and activation information for Windows Server 2022 through Volume License Service Center (VLSC). This method is suitable for large enterprises or organizations that can centrally manage and distribute licenses.

3. Retail Edition License

Retail Edition License: You can also purchase retail edition Windows Server 2022 licenses in the market. These licenses are usually suitable for small businesses or individual users, and can be obtained through various sales channels, such as online stores, brick-and-mortar stores, and so on.

4. Key Management Server (KMS)

KMS Activation: If your organization is in an enterprise environment and you need to activate Windows Server 2022 for a large number of computers, you can use a key management server (KMS) for centralized activation. In this case, you need to ensure that the KMS server is properly set up and configured, and that you activate the KMS server with a valid KMS host key. Your client computers can then be activated against the KMS server.

Caution.

When purchasing and using Windows Server 2022 licenses, ensure that you comply with Microsoft's licensing terms and conditions.

Illegally obtaining or using an unauthorized activation key is a violation of Microsoft's license terms and may result in legal consequences.

Ensure that the type of license you purchase matches your usage requirements, for example, if you plan to use Remote Desktop Services (RDS), you need to purchase an RDS Client Access License (RDS CAL).
