What is Exchange Server SE?<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>

Exchange Server SE (Subscription Edition) is the next version of Microsoft\u2019s on-premises email server. Instead of one-time license payments, Microsoft will rely more on its subscription-based license model. Companies will pay regularly for updates, security fixes, and support. This shift aligns with Microsoft\u2019s recent trend of favoring subscription-based models.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why do companies need to migrate to Exchange Server SE?<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>

As of October 14, 2025<\/strong>, support for Exchange 2016<\/strong> and Exchange 2019<\/strong> will end, meaning that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates<\/strong> for these versions. Once support ends, any security vulnerabilities that arise will remain unpatched, making your infrastructure increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Switching to Exchange Server SE is therefore essential to continue receiving regular support and security updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are also happy to advise you on the alternatives!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Does the Exchange Server SE license model also have advantages?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

Exchange Server SE provides companies with a reliable alternative to the previous versions. The subscription-based model ensures continuous support, regular updates and the necessary security for your IT infrastructure. Particularly important is the continuous protection against new security vulnerabilities, which is guaranteed by the subscription model.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to successfully migrate from Exchange 2016 and Exchange 2019<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
