We bought a server from Dell (56 cores) in 2021 as well as a Windows Server 2019 (perpetual) license. Can we upgrade to Windows Server 2022 for free? We paid an extra ~$10k just for the Windows Server 2019 license.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to upgrade to Server 2022.

    Whether you can free upgrade to Server 2022 from 2019 may depend on which kind of license and the contract of your previous order. It is recommended to consult your license Saler or Microsoft volume licensing center for further check.

    Here are some ways to get started with Server 2022 for your reference:

    Have a nice day. 

    Best Regards,

    Molly
