Usually not by itself. It is commonly an add-on quantity within a complete core-licensing position.

No. Windows Server CALs are separate from CPU core licensing.
How many virtual machines are included?
Standard edition generally provides rights for up to two Windows Server OSEs or VMs when the physical server is fully licensed. Re-license all cores for additional sets.
Is Windows Server 2019 still supported?
It is in extended support, scheduled to end in January 2029.
