About Windows Server 2008 Standard

Windows Server 2008 Standard is Microsoft's server operating system for file, print, directory and application servers. It runs file and print services, Active Directory, web workloads and line-of-business applications. It is part of our Windows Server 2008 range.

Windows Server 2008 is licensed per server, and the users or devices that connect to it need Client Access Licenses (CALs). Microsoft ended extended support for Windows Server 2008 on 14 January 2020, so it no longer receives security updates. Use it only for legacy applications that need it. Your license key is delivered by email and entered during setup or through the Activation settings. For remote desktops you also need RDS CALs.
