You need at least four core licenses for each physical processor on the server (core licenses are sold in packs of two). The SQL Server or any of its components needs to be licensed.
Does each SQL instance require a license?
Licensing SQL under the CAL model requires each instance of SQL (virtual or physical) to be licensed with a single SQL Server license. Then a choice of User or Device CALs (Client Access Licenses) are required for every user or device which can access the server.
How is SQL license calculated?
- Required # of SQL VMs – the total number of VMs requiring to run MS SQL Server Standard edition software.
- Number of vCPUs per VM – the number of vCPUs allocated to a single VM.
- Total # of users/devices – the total number of users and/or devices requiring access to SQL servers.
