Lenovo Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard 01GU599 2-processor licence

SKU CH-C4VF-SW08S MPN 01GU599

A cloud-ready operating system licence for two processors, BIOS-locked to Lenovo hardware and delivered as a multilingual Reseller Option Kit

  • Cloud-ready OS secures business applications and infrastructure
  • Licence covers two processors for dual-socket server deployments
  • BIOS-locked to Lenovo hardware prevents unauthorised transfers
  • Multilingual media simplifies global roll-outs
  • Reseller Option Kit streamlines system-builder installations

Licensing scope

This Lenovo Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard licence 01GU599 covers two processors and is delivered as an OEM Reseller Option Kit. It is intended for organisations deploying a dedicated storage appliance that will run the 2016 Standard edition on Lenovo hardware. The licence is BIOS-locked to IBM platforms and includes multilingual media.

Compatibility check

Verify that the target server uses a supported Lenovo or IBM platform whose BIOS will accept the lock. Confirm the physical processor count does not exceed the two-processor entitlement. Ensure the deployment plan calls for the 2016 Standard edition rather than a newer release, because this key cannot be applied to other versions.

Upgrade context

This licence replaces an earlier Windows Storage Server edition on the same hardware when the two-processor limit matches the current configuration. The jump is worthwhile when the business requires the 2016 Standard feature set and intends to remain on the existing platform without expanding the processor count beyond the licensed pair.

Questions about this item

Does the 01GU599 package include the Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard installation media, or must I obtain it separately?

The licence is delivered as a Reseller Option Kit without installation media; you will need to source the Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard install files yourself.

The 01GU599 SKU covers two processors — is there a single-processor alternative for smaller deployments?

This specific part number is only sold as a 2-processor licence; a 1-processor version would carry a different Lenovo part number.

What does the BIOS-locked restriction on the 01GU599 licence mean once the OS is running on my server?

The licence will activate only on Lenovo hardware with an IBM-branded BIOS, so it cannot be transferred to non-Lenovo systems.
