Licensing question

  • Thinking of getting a perpetual standard licensing with certain number of cores. Was wondering what difference it makes it to get the standard licensing under software assurance. The perpetual should still be able to receive the cumulative updates and services packs, correct?

    Also, apart from memory and the cores cap on standard we should still be able to install the integration services with perpetual license, correct?

  • There are no service packs anymore, only cumulative updates. The non SA license does get CUs, but it doesn't give you upgrades, and some HA rights. The SA allows you to upgrade as needed with new versions, and allows free standbys in clusters and AGs. Whether that matters in your situation is up to you.

  • Thank you
