Answer 1

ANSWER

  Windows Server 2016 Essentials can be used for this. Since it is a small company and it have only 13 users and also the company has no plan to expand it, Windows Server 2016 Essentials will be most suitable for this company.

Windows Server 2016 Essentials is a version of Windows Server 2016, which is made for small businesses with up to 25 users and 50 devices. Processor based licencing model is used in this version. There is no CAL (Client Access License) is required in this version.

The licensing model includes both Cores and Client Access Licenses. Users and devices that accessing a Licensed Windows Server Standard requires a Windows Server CAL. The Windows Server CAL is the thing that gives a user or device the right to access any edition of Windows Server of the same or earlier version. Each CAL allows access to multiple licenses of Windows Server.

So, the network is easy to maintain and handle using Windows Server 2016 Essentials.
