Windows Server 2016 builds on the installation and management processes of earlier Windows Server versions. To install Windows Server 2016, IT professionals need to understand the editions of Windows Server 2016 and how they are licensed. This will enable the professionals to select the edition of Windows Server 2016 that best meets their needs. Depending on the generation of Windows Server, varying editions came with different features or different licensing. Microsoft has a variety of different licensing programs with different benefits, restrictions, and costs. Client Access License (CAL) provides users or devices with rights to access services that are running on the servers. Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is a server role included with Windows Server 2016 as a method for deploying operating system images over the network. The professionals can use WDS to install Windows Server 2016 on new servers or new virtual machines.
