Hi,
I have Exchange server on premise and don't have any mailbox on premise, currently our Exchange Server version is 2013 with WS 2012 R2.
and our company need to upgrade OS to WS 2019 with Exchange 2019. My question is,
Is there any possibility to minimize license usage ? because I read there is free hybrid license for latest Exchange server that do not hosting any mailbox
kindly need your suggestion
Thanks
Sorry Title typo, I mean Exchange 2019 Free hybrid license
As posted in the article that AndyDavid provided:
If you don't want to host mailboxes on Exchange on-premises, it is suggested to use Exchange 2016 which could be licensed for free.
