However, we are pleased to inform you that <strong>Exoscale will not be increasing our prices</strong> for this license. Our goal is to provide <strong>consistent value without unexpected changes</strong> that could disrupt your operations.</p><h2><strong>Multilingual Windows Server Templates</strong></h2><p class="">Our Windows Server templates now come with <strong>English, German, and French</strong> pre-installed, with English set as the default language. You can configure your server to use German or French as the <strong>display and/or system language</strong>.
