Buy used Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 legally and cheaply

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 is a groupware and email transport server software that is used in companies for the central storage and management of emails, contacts, appointments and tasks. A Windows server is required to operate Microsoft Exchange Server 2016. Users also need an additional client to be able to use the functions of Exchange Server 2016, such as Microsoft Outlook (as part of the Office family) or Outlook on the web, which is already included in Exchange Server 2016 as a web application and enables access via a browser.

Functions of Exchange Server 2016 at a glance

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 is primarily used to manage incoming and outgoing emails. These are routed centrally via the Exchange Server and forwarded to the correct recipients. Filters and intelligent detection routines reliably filter out spam and other unwanted emails, thus increasing the productivity of your employees.

In addition, an Exchange Server manages internal and external contacts, calendars and appointments as well as tasks that can be assigned to both individual users and groups of users. This allows you to efficiently plan meetings and appointments or track the completion of tasks, for example.

New functions to protect against data loss and an improved version of the web-based Outlook client have been integrated into Microsoft Exchange Server 2016. The revised interface makes it easier to work on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets as well as on the web. Thanks to a new and simplified architecture, automated repairs and faster recovery, Exchange Server 2016 offers even more security and reliability.

As part of the extended support, Microsoft also supports Exchange Server 2016 with security updates and combines older updates into Cumulative Updates (CU). CU23 is the latest version for Exchange Server 2016 and contains all previous updates and patches. These are released approximately every six months, although Microsoft also releases a Security Update for Exchange Server 2016 CU23 earlier if required - most recently the Exchange Server 2016 CU23 Mar24SU (Security Update).

What is the difference between a used Exchange Server 2016 license and the purchase of a new license?

With a used license for Exchange 2016, you can make considerable savings compared to the prices Microsoft charges for licensing, without having to accept any restrictions in terms of functionality, performance or support from Microsoft. At Soft & Cloud, you will only find secure and legal licenses that have been properly delicensed by the previous owner. For you, this means that you can legally operate a Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 with a used license on a permanent basis. Microsoft grants you the same rights as buyers of new licenses, for example with regard to obtaining free updates such as the current Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 23.

Exchange Server 2016 in comparison

Microsoft offers Exchange Server 2016 in two editions (Standard and Enterprise) to support both small companies and large corporations with their internal and external communication. The Standard edition enables the integration of up to five databases, while the Enterprise edition is aimed at large companies or organizations and is scalable to up to 100 databases. Otherwise, the functional scope of the two editions does not differ and the security level is also identical.

There are two licensing options to choose from: You can license the server (either Standard or Enterprise) or purchase access licenses (CALs), which authorize either a user (User CAL) or a device (Device CAL) to access the Exchange Server. At Soft & Cloud you will find both used server licenses and used CALs, as well as the Enterprise CAL issued as an add-on. This is required in addition to the Standard CAL in order to be able to use new integrated archiving and information protection functions. This reduces the effort and costs involved in complying with legal requirements.
