    WSUS and Arc are not requirements or prerequisite to get the Windows Server 2025 Feature Update using the Settings Dialog or SConfig - only connectivity to Windows Update should be required. We plan to enable the Settings Dialog in Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 to receive the Windows Server 2025 Feature Update when it is published. We plan to enable SConfig on Windows Server 2022 to receive the Windows Server 2025 Feature Update when it is published. Customers running a volume license and KMS will not need to purchase a product key to activate Windows Server 2025 after the Feature Update completes. Customers running retail or OEM versions of Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022, however, will need to purchase a product key to activate Windows Server 2025 after the Feature Update completes.
