Core add-on – Matches licensing to your server CPU core count.
Host flexibility – Add-ons can be stacked as you expand hardware.
Compliance support – Helps keep licensing aligned with installed processors.
Virtualization value – Maintains Datacenter benefits when cores increase.
Microsoft Server 2019 Datacenter core add-on lets you license additional CPU cores for a Datacenter host. It helps keep your server licensing aligned as hardware grows.
