Note on the support lifecycle
Mainstream support for Exchange Server 2019 ended on 9 January 2024; extended support ran until 14 October 2025 and has therefore now expired. For new deployments, Microsoft recommends migrating to the Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE) or switching to Exchange Online. However, the Enterprise CAL add-on remains a sensible choice for existing environments where migration is planned or for hybrid transition scenarios where advanced compliance and security features are required.
