Questions about this item
Does this 4-core add-on licence require a base Windows Server 2022 Datacenter licence on the same server?

Can I apply this licence to a server that already runs an earlier Windows Server release?
The licence applies to Windows Server 2022 Datacenter edition; upgrading from an earlier release would require a full base licence plus any necessary add-ons.
