I need to know where to buy a Windows server essentials 2022 license. I want it for a standalone small server. I previously used Server 2012 Essentials and do not want to have to buy Server 2019 Essentials now that 2022 Essentials is out. MS seems to be making this difficult.

    Agreed, may be difficult to get hold of, looks to be an OEM-only product.
    Windows Server Essentials is available through our OEM Server Hardware partners.
