Finally SharePoint Server 2016 has been released as a Preview Installation

The good news for all the businesses out there is the SharePoint Server 2016 preview is released. The IT Preview has been planned, developed, and verified with the Microsoft Software as a Service (SaaS) strategy. SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview is planned to help you succeed new levels of dependability, performance, supplying features and abilitiesto simplify administration, protect communications and facts, and empower customers while meeting their demands for better business mobility. You can choose from anout-datedin-house deployment, a hosted service with Microsoft Office 365 sites powered by Microsoft SharePoint Online, deployment in Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), or a combination of these choices with a hybrid approach, allowing you to improveout-dated in-house scenarios with the modernization in the cloud. SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview forms the investments of previous SharePoint releases and helps in reducing IT expenses with a cloud inspired set-up and scalable collaboration platform, provides better handling risk by protecting your business with secure and reliable capabilities and delivers modern teamwork experiences across devices and screens.

The in-house version of SharePoint Server 2016 is exclusive in the Microsoft and includes most of the new features built in, and is used as the baseline for the in-house SharePoint Server 2016 product. Nevertheless, not all of its competencies will make it to the in-house version, but those that don’t will be presented as Office 365 Services, so you can control them from your in-house implementation. SharePoint Server 2016 will have functionality that will permit easy integration of Office 365, especially SharePoint Online, with your SharePoint Server 2016 in-house deployment. Ultimately, Microsoft understoodthat users wanted a hybrid approach, so SharePoint Server 2016 was planned to encourage and ease the implementation and management of a SharePoint hybrid solution. In order to install SharePoint Server Preview, you have to follow the below mentioned steps:

1. Firstly, review SharePoint Server 2013  system necessities

2. Secondly, you have to download and install full-featured software for a 180-day trial

3. When prompted, use the following product key: NQTMW-K63MQ-39G6H-B2CH9-FRDWJ

The installation procedure is comparatively straightforward but there are two things that might come as a surprise, especially to those who are trying to create a small SharePoint deployment. First, it's still possible to generate a single server deployment. Yet, single server deployments no longer use SQL Server Express. Hence, you are going to require a full-blown SQL Server even if you are installing only a single SharePoint Server.
