Hello We've bought a new server with Windows Server 2022 Essential OEM Version. Systeminfo shows Windows Server 2022 Standard. Our 3rd party software is licensed to Windows Server Essential and do...
Regardless, the vendor will be your best resource for resolution to the problem. The burden is on the developer to certify an application for a given operating system.

Dave Patrickthank you for your reply.
3rd party support sees "standard" in sysinfo and wants me to upgrade their software from "essential".
I have not found any answer if sysinfo should show windows server 2022 essential or if it will always show windows server 2022 standard even with an essential license key.Got that, seems you'll need to ask the third-party provider if there's support for Server 2022 Essentials. If so, they should be aware and know of the fix.
- Server 2022 don't have real Essentials edition anymore, you get Standard edition regardless
