SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise – Your On-Premises Collaboration Powerhouse

Transform how your organisation manages content, knowledge, and teamwork with Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise. This is a full, perpetual licence for businesses that require complete control over their collaboration infrastructure, deployed on their own hardware behind their own firewall. Whether you are migrating from an older SharePoint version, consolidating file servers, or building a modern intelligent intranet, this edition delivers the advanced capabilities that enterprise-scale operations demand. You receive a genuine, verified licence key with instant digital delivery, clear activation guidance, and the reassurance of Lizensa's EU-based support. It is a one-time investment for a permanent licence, eliminating recurring subscription costs while giving you access to enterprise search, business intelligence, compliance tooling, and robust document management. Designed for IT administrators, enterprise architects, and decision-makers in medium to large organisations, SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise provides the foundation for secure, compliant, and highly customisable collaboration that integrates seamlessly with your existing Windows Server ecosystem.

Key features and benefits

• Enterprise search and discovery: Harness advanced search capabilities that crawl across SharePoint sites, network file shares, and external data sources. Your teams find the right documents and insights faster, reducing time wasted on manual searching and improving decision-making across departments.
• Business intelligence with Power BI integration: Embed interactive Power BI reports and dashboards directly into SharePoint pages without additional coding. Stakeholders gain real-time visibility into key metrics, turning your intranet into a data-driven command centre.
• Comprehensive compliance and records management: Apply in-place holds, define retention schedules, and manage disposition workflows natively. This helps your organisation meet GDPR, ISO, and other regulatory obligations without relying on third-party add-ons, reducing legal risk and administrative overhead.
• Modern team sites and communication sites: Create dynamic, mobile-ready pages with drag-and-drop web parts. Departments can build their own hubs for news, resources, and collaboration, fostering a connected culture even when teams are distributed across multiple locations.
• Flexible on-premises deployment with hybrid options: Run SharePoint Server 2019 entirely on your own Windows Server infrastructure, keeping sensitive data within your physical control. You retain the option to integrate with Microsoft 365 for hybrid scenarios like cloud-powered search, giving you a pragmatic path to the cloud at your own pace.
• Robust document management and co-authoring: Leverage version history, check-in/check-out, and real-time co-authoring for Office documents stored in document libraries. Multiple colleagues can work on the same proposal or report simultaneously, accelerating project timelines and eliminating version conflicts.
• Workflow automation with Power Automate: Design and trigger automated workflows for approvals, notifications, and data collection using Power Automate (formerly Flow). Routine processes like leave requests or invoice approvals run consistently, freeing your staff to focus on higher-value work.
• Scalable architecture for virtualised environments: Deploy SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise on virtual machines with full support for Hyper-V and VMware. You can allocate resources dynamically as your user base grows, optimising hardware utilisation and ensuring responsive performance under load.
• Multi-language user interface support: Serve content in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish out of the box. Multinational teams and European organisations can collaborate in their preferred languages, improving user adoption and reducing localisation costs.
• Enterprise-grade security and access control: Define granular permissions at the site, list, and item level, integrated with Active Directory. Sensitive board documents or HR records remain accessible only to authorised personnel, strengthening your data governance posture.

What's included with your purchase

When you purchase Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise from Lizensa, you receive a complete, ready-to-activate software licence package. The licence type is shown for the variant you select, and every variant gives you a permanent, non-expiring right to use the software. This is not a subscription. You get a single, genuine product key that activates your SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise deployment.

Your digital delivery package includes:

• A genuine Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise product key, delivered instantly to your email inbox and available in your Lizensa customer account.
• An official Microsoft download link to obtain the installation media directly from Microsoft's servers, ensuring you get an unmodified, secure ISO file.
• A step-by-step activation guide written in clear English, walking you through the installation and online activation process via Microsoft's activation servers.
• A VAT invoice issued by Lizensa, suitable for your accounting records and fully compliant with EU invoicing directives. Reverse charge is applied for valid B2B intra-community transactions.
• Access to Lizensa's free multilingual technical support, ready to assist if you encounter any questions during installation or activation.

The licence is perpetual. Once activated, your SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise instance is licensed for the life of the server hardware or virtual machine, with no end date. You must ensure you have the required Windows Server licence and the necessary Client Access Licences (CALs) for every user or device connecting to SharePoint.

Licensing explained: what you need to know

Understanding SharePoint Server licensing is essential before you deploy. SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise uses a Server plus Client Access Licence (CAL) model. This means you need two components to be fully compliant:

1. A server licence: This is what you are purchasing here. It grants you the right to install and run SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise software on a single server. The Enterprise edition includes all the advanced features listed above.
2. Client Access Licences (CALs): A CAL is required for each user or device that accesses the SharePoint server. This is a separate purchase and is not included with the server licence. You can choose between User CALs (licensed per person, allowing access from multiple devices) or Device CALs (licensed per device, allowing multiple users to access from that single device). For most organisations, User CALs offer greater flexibility.

Virtualisation rights: This licence permits you to run SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise in a virtualised environment. You may install one instance of the server software in a physical or virtual operating system environment on the licensed server. If you need to run multiple instances, additional server licences are required.

Standard vs. Enterprise edition: Microsoft also offers SharePoint Server 2019 Standard. The Enterprise edition includes all Standard features plus advanced capabilities such as enterprise search, business intelligence (Power BI integration, Excel Services), compliance and records management, and Access Services. If your organisation only needs core collaboration, document libraries, and team sites, the Standard edition may suffice. For data-driven intranets, compliance automation, and advanced content services, the Enterprise edition is the correct choice.

System requirements and compatibility

Before installing, verify that your infrastructure meets the following minimum specifications. These requirements are for a single-server development or evaluation environment. Production deployments, especially those serving many concurrent users, will require significantly more resources.

• Operating system: Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, or Windows Server 2022 (64-bit editions required).
• Processor: 64-bit processor with at least 4 cores.
• Memory (RAM): Minimum 4 GB, though 16 GB is strongly recommended for acceptable performance in a production setting.
• Hard disk space: Minimum 32 GB of free space for the installation drive, plus additional space for content databases, search indexes, and logs.
• Architecture: 64-bit server architecture only. 32-bit systems are not supported.
• Internet connectivity: Required for product activation via Microsoft's online activation servers. A connection is also needed to download updates and access optional hybrid features.
• Language support: The server software supports installation and user interfaces in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish.

These specifications represent baseline guidance. Exact requirements vary depending on your specific server role (front-end, application, search), the size of your content databases, and the number of concurrent users. Always consult the official Microsoft documentation for detailed capacity planning before activating your product.

Installation and activation

Your licence key is delivered digitally within seconds of completing your purchase. You will find it in a confirmation email and stored permanently in your Lizensa customer account. The email includes a secure download link to obtain the SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise installation media from Microsoft's official content delivery network.

To activate your server:

1. Download the ISO file and mount it or extract it to bootable media.
2. Run the SharePoint Server 2019 prerequisite installer on your prepared Windows Server machine.
3. Launch the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard and enter the product key provided by Lizensa when prompted.
4. Complete the server farm configuration and allow the wizard to finalise the installation.
5. The server will activate online automatically. An internet connection is required for this step.

If activation fails, first verify that your server can reach Microsoft's activation endpoints. Lizensa's support team is available to help troubleshoot activation errors at no additional cost. Should you need to reinstall the software on the same server hardware, you can reuse your product key. If you are migrating to new hardware, you may need to transfer the licence; contact Lizensa support for guidance on the reactivation process.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise a subscription or a one-time purchase?

This is a one-time, perpetual licence purchase. You pay once and own the right to use the software indefinitely on the licensed server. There are no monthly or annual subscription fees for the server licence itself.

What is the difference between a Retail licence and an OEM licence?

A Retail licence is transferable and can be moved to different hardware if you decommission the original server. An OEM licence is pre-installed on a new server by the manufacturer and is permanently tied to that specific machine, making it non-transferable.

How fast do I get my licence key after paying?

Delivery is instant. Your product key and download instructions are sent to your email and made available in your Lizensa customer account immediately after your payment is confirmed. On average, this takes less than one minute.

Is this a genuine, legal Microsoft licence?

Absolutely. Every licence sold by Lizensa is sourced from authorised distributors within the European Union. You receive a genuine Microsoft product key that passes online activation and is eligible for security updates.

What if I have trouble activating the product?

Lizensa provides free technical support for activation issues. If you encounter an error during activation, contact our support team with the error code. We will guide you through troubleshooting steps to get your server activated.

Can I reinstall this licence on a new server later?

If you decommission the original server, you may uninstall SharePoint and reactivate the licence on new hardware. Contact Lizensa support if online activation requires a manual verification step during the transfer.

Does this licence work in my country within the EU?

Yes. This licence is valid for activation and use in all 27 European Union member states. It is sourced from EU distribution channels and is fully compliant with European software regulations.

What payment methods does Lizensa accept?

We accept SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards including Visa and Mastercard. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

Do you provide a VAT invoice?

Yes, a proper VAT invoice is issued with every purchase. For businesses with a valid EU VAT number, the invoice will apply the reverse charge mechanism where applicable, in compliance with EU tax law.

Key doesn't activate? We fix it or refund you.

Do I need anything else to use SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise?

Yes. You need a licensed Windows Server operating system to host SharePoint. Most critically, you must purchase Client Access Licences (CALs) separately for every user or device that will connect to your SharePoint server. A server licence alone does not grant access rights for users.

Can I use this licence for a public-facing website?

SharePoint Server 2019 Enterprise can be used to host internal intranet sites and extranets for authenticated partners. For public-facing, anonymous websites, you must verify that your licensing model covers external users, as this typically requires a specific External Connector licence in addition to your server licence and CALs.
