INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION | LICENSING MODELS - Licensing per

Server & Client /Device

SQL Server 2008 can be purchased as a server license (for Workgroup editions, Standard andEnterprise), in conjunction with CALs on a device or user. This licensing mode is designed forcustomers who do not use SQL Server in scenarios that require public access to the Internet.

Server license (for Workgroup editions, Standard and Enterprise)is required for each operatingsystem under the control of which you are running a particular edition of SQL Server or any of itscomponents (for example, Analysis Services).

CAL per device. This license is required for each device (for example a personal computer,workstation, terminal, PDA, cell phone, etc.) to access or use the services or functionality of MicrosoftSQL Server.

CAL per user. CAL SQL Server for the user is required to provide users(employees, customers,partners, etc.) to access Microsoft SQL Server or use of its services or features. Model license for theserver plus user CAL will generally cheaper solution, if one user is using multiple devices (for example,a user with a desktop computer, laptop, PDA, etc.).

CAL is not a program - it is a legal document granting a device or user the right to access the server.A single license per device CAL grants the right of access from one device to multiple servers (VersionCAL must comply with the latest version of the software installed on the servers). A single license peruser CAL gives one user access rights to multiple servers.

INTRODUCTION | LICENSING MODELS

SQL Server 2008 is available in three licensing models:

Server plus device client access license (CAL).

Requires a license for the computer running the Microsoft server product,

as well as CALs for each client device.

Server plus user client access license (CAL).

Requires a license for the computer running the Microsoft server product,

as well as CALs for each user.

Processor license.

Requires a single license for each CPU in the operating system environment

running SQL Server. This license includes unlimited client device access.

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | MULTIPLEXING part one

Sometimes organizations develop network scenarios that use various

forms of hardware and/or software that reduce the number of devices

or users that directly access or use the software on a particular server,

often called multiplexing or pooling hardware or software.

Use of such multiplexing or pooling hardware and/or software does

not reduce the number of CALs required to access or use SQL Server

software. A CAL is required for each distinct device or user that is

connected to the multiplexing or pooling software or hardware front

end.

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | MULTIPLEXING part one and

Multiplexing. Users / devices that access a SQL server indirectly require a CAL

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | MULTIPLEXING part two

This is true no matter how many tiers of hardware or software exist between the

SQL Server and the client devices that ultimately use its data, services or

functionality. An exception to this includes the manual transfer of data from

employee to employee.

For example, if an employee sends an Excel version of a report to another

employee, the receiving employee does not require a CAL (as long as the report

does not access a SQL Server in some way). An additional exception is

communication exclusively between SQL servers.

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | PASSIVE / ACTIVE / HA part one

Database mirroring is a SQL Server 2008 technology for increasing databaseavailability. Database mirroring transfers transaction log records directly from oneserver to another and can quickly failover to the standby server.

Failover clustering. Failover clustering is a process in which the operatingsystem and SQL Server 2008 work together to provide availability in the event of anapplication failure, hardware failure, or operating-system error. Failover clusteringprovides hardware redundancy through a configuration in which mission-criticalresources are transferred from a failing machine to an equally configured serverautomatically.

Backup Log-Shipping. Log-shipping increases a SQL Server database'savailability by automatically copying and restoring the database's transaction logs toanother database on a standby server. Because the standby database receives allchanges to the original database, it's an exact duplicate of the original database—outof date only by the delay in the copy-and-load process. You then have the ability tomake the standby server a new primary server if the original primary server becomesunavailable. When the original primary server becomes available again, you can makeit a new standby server—effectively reversing the servers' roles.

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | PASSIVE / ACTIVE / HA

part two

A passive server does not need a license, provided that the number of

processors in the passive server is equal or less than those of the active

server. The passive server can take the duties of the active server for 30 days.

Afterward, it must be licensed accordingly.

Afterward, it must be licensed accordingly.

Database Mirroring and Failover Clustering are available for Standard and

Enterprise editions..

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | MULTIPROCESING

Multicore processors, which consist of multiple processing execution units

or “cores” on one chip (socket), are seen as a promising way to boost

computing power.

Microsoft has been driving thought leadership in this area by charging the

same amount per processor, regardless of how many cores are in the

processor.

In contrast, Oracle asks customers to multiply each “core” by different factors

depending on processor type.

IBM has a dual policy where customers with x86 platforms are charged per

processor and customers on IBM’s POWER5-based systems are charged per

core.

SQL SERVER 2008 (R2) | VIRTUALIZATION / per

SERVER + CAL part one

Workgroup and Standard editions now allow you to run any number of

instances of the server software in one physical or virtual operating

system environment on the licensed server at a time. Previously, only the

Enterprise edition of the Server license allowed multi-instancing. This is a

great incentive for customers to adopt the Server/CAL model.

For Enterprise edition, for each server to which you assign a software

license, you may run, at any one time, any number of instances of the

server software in one physical and any number of virtual operating system

environments on that server.

With Workgroup, Web, and Standard editions, for each server to which

you have assigned the required number of per processor licenses, you may

run, at any one time, any number of instances of the server software in

physical and virtual operating system environments on the licensed

server. However, the total number of physical and virtual processors used

by those operating system environments cannot exceed the number of

software licenses assigned to that server

For Enterprise edition there is an added option: if all physical processors in

a machine have been licensed, then you may run unlimited instances of

SQL server 2008 in one physical and an unlimited number of virtual

operating environments on that same machine.

SQL SERVER 2012

SQL SERVER 2012 | LICENSED EDITIONS

SQL Server 2012 has been released in 3 main editions:

Enterprise for mission critical applications and large scale data warehousing

Business Intelligence, a new product edition, providing premium corporate

and self-service BI

Standard for basic database, reporting and analytics capabilities

And what with the other editions?

available in Developer, Express and Compact editions.

Web Edition will be offered in a SPLA model only.

Datacenter Edition is retired with all capabilities now available in Enterprise.

Workgroup and Small business Editions are also retired.

SQL SERVER 2012 | LICENSING MODEL part one

SQL Server 2012 will continue to offer two licensing options – one based on

computing power, and one based on users or devices.

Enterprise Edition (EE) will be licensed based on compute capacity

measured in cores

Business Intelligence (BI) Edition will be available in the Server + CAL

model, based on users or devices

Standard Edition (SE) offers both licensing models to address basic

database workloads

SQL SERVER 2012 | LICENSING MODEL part three

Server and Client Access License (CAL) Licensing

The Business Intelligence and Standard Editions will be available under

the Server and Client Access License (CAL) model.

This licensing model can be used when the number of users can be readily

counted (e.g., internal database applications).

To access a licensed SQL Server, each user must have a SQL Server CAL that

is the same version or newer (for example, to access a SQL Server 2008 SE

server, a user would need a SQL Server 2008 or 2012 CAL).

Each SQL Server CAL can provide access to multiple licensed SQL Servers,

including the new Business Intelligence Edition as well as Standard Edition

Servers and legacy Enterprise Edition Servers.

The SQL Server 2012 CAL price will increase by about 27%.

SQL SERVER 2012 | LICENSING MODEL part four

Core-Based Licensing

The Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition of SQL Server 2012 will

both be available under core-based licensing. Core-based licenses will

be sold in two-core packs.

To license a physical server, you must license all the cores in the server

with a minimum of 4 core licenses required for each physical processor

in the server.

Core licenses will be priced at ¼ the cost of a SQL Server 2008 R2

(EE/SE) processor license.

AMD systems have different requirements; see SQL Server 2012 Quick

Reference Guide.

SQL SERVER 2012 | LICENSING MODEL part five

SQL SERVER 2012 | Virtualization Licensing - Cloud

Optimized

ALWAYSON

Always On the Unknown Path to Licensing Virtual Environment

To license a VM with core licenses, purchase a core license for each virtual

core (virtual thread) allocated to the virtual machine (minimum of 4 core

licenses per VM).

To license a single VM with a server license (for Business Intelligence or

Standard only), buy the server license and buy matching SQL Server CALs

for each user.

Each licensed VM covered with Software Assurance (SA) can be moved

frequently within a server farm or to a third party hoster or cloud services

provider without buying additional SQL Server licenses

SQL SERVER 2012 | Virtualization Licensing – High

Density part one

MAXIMUM VIRTUALIZATION

You can by fully licensing the server (or server farm) with Enterprise Edition

core licenses and Software Assurance based on the total number of physical

cores on the servers. SA then enables the ability to run an unlimited

number of virtual machines to handle dynamic workloads and fully utilize

the hardware’s computing power.

You can’t license for unlimited virtualization with SQL Server 2008 R2 EE

Server + CAL. This was only a temporary use right grant with SA.

SQL SERVER 2012 | Virtualization Licensing – High

Density part two

SQL SERVER 2012 | Transition to New Licensing Model

part one

Enterprise Edition Server + CAL Licensing

New server licenses for SSEE (Server+Cal) model will only be available for

purchase through June 30th, 2012, EA/EAP customers that buy SQL Enterprise Edition Servers will have until their next EA/EAP renewal

after June 30th, 2012 to purchase additional server licenses to complete currently planned projects.

After that, all new SQL Server Enterprise Edition deployments must be purchased per core.

All existing SSEE (Server+CAL) model with SA current when SQL Server 2012

launches can be upgraded to SQL Server 2012 at no additional cost, and SA

can be maintained (server+cal) to provide access to future updates. These Legacy Enterprise Edition Servers remain licensed under the Server + CAL model and require

the appropriate version of the SQL Server CAL for users or devices.

Legacy SSEE licensed in (Server+CAL) deployments will be subject to a 20 core

per server license maximum. This core maximum applies both to new server

licenses and to prior version server licenses upgraded to 2012 with SA. If you purchased SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition in the Server + CAL model with Software

Assurance and at the launch of SQL Server 2012 are running on a server with > 20 physical cores,

contact your Microsoft representative for help transitioning to the new licensing model.

SQL SERVER 2012 | Transition to New Licensing Model

part two

SQL Server Processor licenses under SA

You have rights to upgrade to SQL Server 2012 at no additional cost. At the

subsequent renewal, You have the opportunity to renew into core licenses.

Enterprise and Standard processor licenses under SA are valued at a minimum

of 4 core

Datacenter processor licenses are valued at a minimum of 8 core

At the end of the current agreement term, customers should do a self-inventory

of systems currently running SQL Server, documenting the number of cores in

each processor in use with a SQL Server processor license covered with Software

Assurance. This will enable customers to receive the appropriate SQL Server 2012 use rights moving forward

and will determine the core license exchange eligibility at renewal.

Customers should do this self-inventory using the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit

or other inventory tools and processes to accurately archive a time/date stamped inventory of

hardware tied to SQL Server installations.

If customers do not perform the self-inventory, they will receive a value of 4 core licenses for each

Standard and Enterprise Edition processor and 8 EE core licenses per Datacenter Edition processor.
