HPE Windows Server 2022 4-core DC Add Lic

This HPE part number P46213-B21 supplies a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 license for four additional cores. It extends the Datacenter edition entitlement on a licensed server. The software enables hybrid cloud capabilities and multilayer security features. It is designed for deployment on Hewlett Packard Enterprise server hardware.

Suits core-count expansion on licensed hosts

Organisations adding processor cores to existing Windows Server 2022 Datacenter installations use this licence to stay compliant. It supports environments that rely on Storage Spaces Direct and Windows Admin Center. Buyers who need a base operating system licence or Standard edition rights should look at a different product.

Four-core Datacenter add-on licence

The decisive specification is the four-core increment for the Datacenter edition. Each unit covers exactly four physical cores on the host. Match the total core count of the server to the number of packs purchased. Language support includes English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

Questions about this item

Does this 4-core add-on licence require a base Windows Server 2022 Datacenter licence on the same server?

Yes, the add-on licence supplements an existing Windows Server 2022 Datacenter licence and cannot operate as a standalone product.

Can I apply this licence to a server that already runs an earlier Windows Server release?

The licence applies to Windows Server 2022 Datacenter edition; upgrading from an earlier release would require a full base licence plus any necessary add-ons.

After installation, how can I verify the 4-core entitlement is active?

Open Settings > System > Activation in Windows Server 2022 to confirm the Datacenter edition and the additional core count are recognised.
