    This question is offtopic but the answer is yes if one does not hold an active Software Assurance on the CALs at time of first use with Windows Server 2019.

    Means if one had an active CAL SA until end of 2020 and decide to upgrade one or all Windows Servers to Windows Server 2019 which would need the CALs on 1st of 2021 or even later > bad timing.

    Check the licensing terms of the product at time of them being adopted.
    There is a program and date picker.
