Is the activation of SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is the same as 2019
running test instances of SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, the installation and configuration was the same as the previous perpetual versions with just a Key.
So I assume the subscription change is an accounting change only, no application impact or changes - is this correct?
Hi Warwick Ward, you don't need to have an active Internet connection to activate your product key when installing SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. But if you let your subscription (i.e. Software Assurance contract) expire, then you'll no longer have the legal right to run or use SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

- Hi Troy,
Can you please confirm if we want to go with sharepoint Subscription edition, do we need Software Assurance if we dont have SA we go with sharepoint 2019?
Unfortunately there is no licensing guide about it till now to know the details.
Thanks in advance. - Makes sense, thanks Troy!
