Windows Server 2019 Datacenter and Defender AntiVirus
Hello All,
Asking for input here. We have VL's for Windows 2019 Datacenter and we are currently running many servers in a VM environment. We are also using a Third Party Antivirus in that environment and I am wondering if I am already licensed to use the Windows Defender that is installed with the Server or must I purchase licensing separate for its use? I have contacted a reseller and well they are not very clear on the licensing of it. Stating I must have 50 user licenses min for EndPoint just to license the servers???
Asking for clarifications. Yes reseller also has the questions.
Read on here.
Licensing System Center Endpoint Protection Only (microsoft.com)
but in the end you should ask your resellers trained microsoft licensing specialist.
