Test Windows Server 2022 free of charge

centron has been offering free beta testing for operating systems, frameworks and cloud software since 2004. Within the Early Access scope of the current beta server campaign, interested parties and existing customers can test Windows Server 2022 free of charge until the release. centron provides virtual servers with sufficient performance for this purpose. With this free offer, software developers can already put the new server operating system from Microsoft through its High-Performance paces in order to be prepared for the official release.

 

The community idea plays a very important role in our company philosophy. For this reason, we always run free and public beta campaigns like this one. With this service we thank our existing customers for their trust. At the same time, we would like to underline our status as a reliable and flexible partner of the developer community, which we have earned over the past years.
