**FAQ**

**Q: Can I use this CAL with Windows Server 2019 or 2016?** A: Yes, Microsoft’s licensing allows CALs to be used with earlier versions of Windows Server, provided the server is properly licensed. A Windows Server 2022 CAL grants access rights to Windows Server 2019, 2016, and 2012 R2 (and later) under downgrade rights. Always verify your specific compliance requirements.

**Q: How is the license delivered and activated?** A: After purchase, you receive an email with a digital license key and step-by-step activation instructions. Activation is typically done through the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) or via the server’s activation wizard. Lizensa provides support if you encounter any issues.
