ā Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a minimum of 4 cores if this is a 2-core license?
Microsoft's licensing terms require a minimum of 4 core licenses per physical processor. This 2-core license is designed to be combined with additional core licenses to meet the minimum requirement. You'll need at least one additional 2-core license to reach the 4-core minimum.
Can I add more core licenses later?
Absolutely! You can purchase additional 2-core licenses at any time to scale your SQL Server deployment. This flexible approach allows you to start small and grow your licensing as your business needs expand.
How quickly will I receive my 2-core license?
Most customers receive their digital license within 30 minutes of purchase. Our automated system processes orders 24/7, and you'll get email confirmation with download links, product keys, and installation instructions immediately upon processing.
Is this suitable for production environments?
Yes, but remember you'll need to meet the 4-core minimum per processor. This 2-core license is perfect for smaller production workloads, development environments, or as part of a larger core licensing strategy for production servers.
What's included with Software Assurance?
Software Assurance includes version upgrade rights, technical support, training vouchers, deployment planning services, and License Mobility for cloud deployments. It's included with this license at no additional cost.
Can I use this for virtual environments?
Yes! SQL Server 2022 Standard supports virtualization. You'll need to license all physical cores that could potentially run the SQL Server virtual machine, with the same 4-core minimum per processor requirement.
How does core licensing work exactly?
Core licensing requires you to license every physical core on the server. Each processor must have a minimum of 4 core licenses. So for a 2-processor server, you'd need at least 8 core licenses total (4 per processor).
Do you provide licensing consultation?
Yes! Our Microsoft Solutions Partner certified team provides free licensing consultation to ensure you purchase the right number of core licenses for your specific environment and compliance requirements.
What if I need help with installation?
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we provide free installation guidance and technical support. Our certified technicians can assist with licensing questions, installation troubleshooting, and initial database configuration.
Can I upgrade to Enterprise edition later?
Yes! SQL Server Standard can be upgraded to Enterprise edition at any time. Your existing core licenses can be applied toward the Enterprise upgrade cost. Contact our licensing experts for upgrade pricing and migration assistance.
