How to License SQL Server Standard

Option #1

SERVER + CAL:

Provides the option to license users and/or devices, with low-cost access to incremental SQL Server deployments.

  • Each server running SQL Server software requires a server license.
  • Each user and/or device accessing a licensed SQL Server requires a SQL Server CAL that is the same version or newer - for example, to access a SQL Server 2017 Standard Edition server, a user would need a SQL Server 2017, 2019, or 2022 CAL.
  • Each SQL Server CAL allows access to multiple licensed SQL Servers, including Standard Edition and legacy Business Intelligence and Enterprise Edition Servers.

Option #2

Gives a more precise measurement of computing power and a more consistent metric, regardless of whether solutions are deployed on physical servers on-premises, or in virtual/cloud environments.

  • Core based licensing is appropriate when customers are unable to count users/devices, have Internet/Extranet workloads, or have systems that integrate with external facing workloads.
  • To license a physical server—when running SQL Server in a physical OSE—all physical cores on the server must be licensed.
  • A minimum of four core licenses are required for each physical processor on the server.

SQL Server+CAL Model

What is the Server+CAL licensing model? The Server+CAL (Client Access License) licensing model for SQL Server is a licensing option that allows organizations to license the server software separately from the number of client devices or users accessing the server. With this model, a server license is required for each server running SQL Server, while CALs are needed for each client device or user accessing the server. This licensing model is suitable for scenarios where the number of clients accessing the server varies, as it provides flexibility and cost-effectiveness. By selecting the Server+CAL model, organizations can ensure compliance with licensing requirements while accommodating the dynamic needs of their user base. What are SQL Server CALs? SQL Server CALs (Client Access Licenses) are licenses that grant the right for a client device or user to access and use SQL Server. CALs are required in addition to the server license for each client device or user that directly or indirectly accesses the SQL Server software. They provide businesses with the flexibility to scale their client access as needed, accommodating a varying number of users or devices accessing SQL Server. By obtaining the appropriate number of CALs, organizations ensure compliance with licensing requirements while enabling authorized users to connect to and utilize SQL Server's powerful database management capabilities. CALs play a vital role in regulating and managing client access to SQL Server's services and functionalities.
