Unlock the Power of SQL Server Standard with Two Licensing Options

SERVER + CAL

• Flexible Access: Provides the flexibility to license users and/or devices, offering cost-effective access to incremental SQL Server deployments.
• Server License: Each server running SQL Server software requires a dedicated server license.
• User/Device Licensing: For each user or device accessing a licensed SQL Server, a SQL Server CAL of the same version or newer is required. For example, to access a SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition server, a user would need a SQL Server 2012 or 2019 CAL.
• Versatile Usage: Each SQL Server CAL grants access to multiple licensed SQL Servers, including Standard Edition and legacy Business Intelligence and Enterprise Edition Servers.

PER CORE

• Precision and Consistency: Offers a precise measurement of computing power, ensuring a consistent metric regardless of deployment on physical servers on-premises or in virtual/cloud environments.
• Ideal for Specific Scenarios: Core-based licensing is suitable when counting users/devices is challenging, for Internet/Extranet workloads, or when systems integrate with external-facing workloads.
• Physical Server Licensing: When running SQL Server in a physical Operating System Environment (OSE), licensing applies to all physical cores on the server.
• Minimum Requirements: A minimum of four core licenses is required for each physical processor on the server.
