Now that I'm looking again, I think the Windows on DigitalOcean isn't officially supported, and I think you're right, you would have to maintain your own Windows license.

Google Cloud looks like it has Windows images we could use. I'll do some reading and see what seems simpler. -Keegan On Jun 19, 2017 5:08 PM, "Kai Willadsen" <[email protected]> wrote: > On 19 June 2017 at 22:21, Keegan Witt <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'd like to help with this.
