Currently, releases in the Semi-Annual Channel require volume licensing and Software Assurance if you intend to run the product in production.Do you need stability and predictability? Do you need to run virtual machines and traditional workloads on physical servers? If so, you should consider keeping those servers on the Long-Term Servicing Channel. You get it through volume licensing, Azure, or Visual Studio Subscription Services. As described in this topic, you will receive new versions twice a year, with 18 months of mainstream production support per release. These are the key differences to take into account:Do you need to innovate rapidly? Do you need early access to the newest Windows Server features? Do you need to support fast-cadence hybrid applications, dev-ops, and Hyper-V fabrics? If so, you should consider joining the Semi-Annual Channel by installing Windows Server, version 1903. Should you keep servers on the LTSC or move them to the Semi-Annual Channel?

It requires Software Assurance, and is for workloads where you need to quickly innovate to the latest Microsoft technologies. The later builds are for Windows Server, which is a different product, and support is pretty brief.

Actually, you probably want Windows 2019 because Windows Updates on Windows 2016 are really, really slow (think hours). 1607 is the long term servicing channel of Windows 2016.
