SQL SERVER 2008 ENTERPRISE EDITION DREAMSPARK SOFTWAREYou may run, at any one time, any number of instances of the server software in up to four operating system environments (physical or virtual) on that server. SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise – Licensed in Server/CAL Mode You have the following right for each server to which you assign a software license. “X,” as used above, equals the number of cores, or where relevant, the number of threads in each physical processor. SQL SERVER 2008 ENTERPRISE EDITION DREAMSPARK LICENSESo, for any given virtual operating system environment on a server on which each physical processor provides X logical processors, the number of licenses required is the sum of a) and b) below:Ī) one license for every X logical processors that virtual operating system environment usesī) one license if the number of logical processors it uses is not a whole number multiple of X Solely for licensing purposes, a virtual processor is considered to have the same number of threads and cores as each physical processor on the underlying physical hardware system. Virtual operating system environments use virtual processors. I covered a long time ago the counting process for SQL, this info is now in the April PUR, as belowĪ virtual processor is a processor in a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system. SQL SERVER 2008 ENTERPRISE EDITION DREAMSPARK FULLIf a virtual operating system environment uses a fraction of a virtual processor, the fraction counts as a full virtual processor. ![]() ![]() SQL SERVER 2008 ENTERPRISE EDITION DREAMSPARK SOFTWARE LICENSE(B) To run instances of the server software in virtual operating system environments on a server, you need a software license for each virtual processor 1 that each of those virtual operating system environments uses. (A) To run instances of the server software in the physical operating system environment on a server, you need a software license for each physical processor that the physical operating system environment uses. Under this option, the total number of software licenses required for a server equals the sum of the software licenses required under (A) and (B) below. If you don’t want to license all the physical procs in the box, you can license on procs used, as below, to provide you proc count for Enterprise edition, remember for Standard or WG or Small business your only option is “procs used” You may run on the licensed server instances of Standard in place of Enterprise in any of these operating system environments You may run any number of instances in up to four operating systems environments for each Enterprise license you assign to the server. If you license all of the physical processors on the licensed server SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise – Licensed in Per Processor Mode – 2 choices on counting licenses You may run on the licensed server instances of Enterprise or Standard in place of Datacenter in any of the operating system environments. You may run the server software in one physical and any number of virtual operating system environments without regard to the number of physical and virtual processors used. You must count and license all of the physical processors SQL Server 2008 R2 Datacenter– Licensed in Per Processor Mode – License ALL Physical Procs Now to the official – Info from the PUR below SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard is licensed Per Proc or Per Server/CALs, currently no Server Application Mobility Rights SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise is licensed Per Proc or Per Server/CALs, Server Application Mobility Rights exist and are outlined in the PUR, you can run an instance of Standard in place of Enteprise in any of the OSEs – Yippeeeee!!! SQL Server 2008 R2 Datacenter is licensed Per Proc only, count and license all the physical procs in box = unlimited number of running instance of SQL Datacentre in any number of OS environments = unlimited virtualization, you also have the ability to move these instances in accordance with Server Application Mobility rights – discussed in a previous blog post and you can run Standard or Enterprise in place of DC in any OSE I know that sometimes its easy to confuse license rights for the different modes, so let me cover that below, by mode/edition, then next post will concentrate on migration/transition for SA customers and next steps…. Note 2: SQL Server Datacenter is offered in Per Processor mode only Note 1: SQL Server Standard and Enterprise 2008 R2 can be licensed in either Server/CAL mode or Per Processor mode your choice So a few weeks back I said that SQL Server 2008 R2 would have a new edition, with a new edition comes a revamp in the overall licensingĬouple of basic points before we begin, as a few emails have come through on this and a little bit of confusion ![]()
