How to License SQL Server Standard: Making Informed Choices for Your Deployment

When licensing Microsoft SQL Server Standard, you have two primary options to choose from, each catering to different deployment scenarios:

 SERVER + CAL (Client Access Licenses)

This option provides flexibility and cost-effectiveness, especially for environments with incremental SQL Server deployments.

  • Server License Requirement: Each server running SQL Server software needs a server license.

  • CAL Requirement: Each user and/or device accessing a licensed SQL Server requires a SQL Server CAL that matches the version or is newer. For instance, to access a SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition server, a user needs a SQL Server 2012 or 2017 CAL.

  • Access Across Multiple Servers: A single SQL Server CAL allows access to multiple licensed SQL Servers, including Standard Edition, Business Intelligence, and Enterprise Edition Servers.

PER CORE Licensing

This option offers a more precise measurement of computing power, making it suitable for scenarios where user/device counts are challenging, or systems integrate with external facing workloads.

  • Physical Server Licensing: To license a physical server running SQL Server in a physical OSE (Operating System Environment), all physical cores on the server must be licensed.

  • Minimum Core Licenses: A minimum of four core licenses is required for each physical processor on the server.

  • Virtual/Cloud Environments: Core-based licensing is consistent whether solutions are deployed on physical servers on-premises or in virtual/cloud environments.

Choosing Between Options:

The decision between SERVER + CAL and PER CORE licensing depends on factors such as user/device counts, internet/extranet workloads, and system integration with external-facing workloads.
