Technicality: the "code base" may be the same but the _code_ is not.

Corresponding[*] desktop and server editions install different code
for a number of key modules.  This is easily verified by comparing the
installations.

[*] server 2008  <>  windows 7
     server 2012  <>  windows 8

Haven't seen server 2016 yet.

isn't (and never was) possible to tweak a desktop into a server.
