      Discontinuation of RDS Licensing Provided by STACKIT

      We would like to inform you that starting from January 1, 2026, STACKIT will stop providing Remote Desktop Services (RDS) Subscriber Access Licenses (SALs) as part of the Windows Server offering.

      Going forward, RDS licensing will be handled exclusively through your own eligible Microsoft agreements (Bring Your Own License – BYOL). This change aligns with Microsoft’s Flexible Virtualization Benefit (FVB) and prevents duplicate or unnecessary license provisioning. Further details are available in the updated STACKIT Windows Server Service Certificate.

      Separation of Compute and Licensing (SKU Split) for Windows Server, RHEL, and Confidential Kubernetes

      Starting from December 1, 2025, STACKIT will introduce an updated billing structure for Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Confidential Kubernetes. Previously, these services were billed as a combined product (Compute + License). Going forward, compute resources and operating system or service licenses will be billed separately, providing greater transparency and traceability across all workloads. This change applies to both new and existing instances of the mentioned products. The respective pricing and SKU details are reflected in the updated service certificates.
