How are SQL Server licenses sold
How are SQL Server licenses sold? SQL Server is a popular database management system that offers a wide range of features and capabilities for organizations of all sizes. However, choosing the right licensing program for your organization can be confusing. In this post, we'll take a closer look at the various licensing programs available for SQL Server. Per Core Licensing Per core licensing is a popular licensing model for SQL Server. This model is based on the number of processor cores that are used to run SQL Server. Customers are required to purchase a minimum of four core licenses per processor, and additional core licenses can be purchased in packs of two. This licensing model is ideal for organizations that need to run SQL Server on a large number of processors. It provides a more predictable licensing cost, as the license fee is based on the number of processor cores, rather than the number of users or devices that access the server.
