SQL Server 2012 Edition Licensing

Business Intelligence

Server + CAL ONLY Core based not an option

Standard

Either Server + CAL OR Core based

Enterprise

Core based ONLY


16/36

SQL Server 2012 Server + CAL licenses

License the server

Ensure that each client which accesses has a CAL

Client CALs are for Devices or Users

CALs are version specific (if you had 2008 CAL and the cnow has a 2012 server you need a new CAL)

1 user CAL allows that user access ANY SQL server


17/36

SQL Server 2012 Core Licensing

Logic is to tie license cost to computing power. Fascomputers can do more with SQL Server ergo you

Previously embodies in Processor licenses but multi-coprocessors played havoc with that metric

Any processor must have at least 4 core licensesof processor core count

Each core in a machine MUST have a core license NOT ALL CORES ARE EQUALAMD cores have a

factor applied

SQL Server 2012 Migration

Customers with previous SQL Server Processor li

can upgrade without cost with the following value

assigned to their existing licenses: Standard or Enterprise Edition: 4 core licenses per proce

Datacenter Edition: 8 core licenses per processor license

OR

The actual number of cores in use which is interesting Customers in existing Enterprise Agreements, EAPs

EASs will be able to continue to purchase processoand Enterprise Edition server licenses through the etheir term.

SQL Server 2012 Virtualization

Server/CAL licenses unaffected Server license per

With SAVMs can move across different physical mach

even to external cloud environments

Core Licenses

Some or all?

License PART of a physical server by licensing VMs per co

whatever edition. 4 core minimum still applies!

License ALL of a physical server with EEhave as many Vlike

Management

You cant manage what you cant measure


24/36

You cant manage what you cant measure

Factors involved:

Physical

Number of cores per processor

Number of processors per physical machine

Number of physical machines running SQL Server

SQL Edition licensed

Current number of cores deployed/used per processor

Virtual

All of the above plus

Number of cores assigned to VMs running SQL Server

Density of VMs running SQL Server per Physical server
