The database server they'll be using is a dual processor machine, so the single processor option is out the window, but I'd think we'd need much more than the CAL option. Is it possible to buy a two processor license? I haven't seen any anywhere. Or would it be possible to buy two single processor packages and use both together? I'm just unsure which specific licensing option to go with. Anyone have any expertise in this? MorfiusX 2[H]4U. Joined Feb 13, Messages 3, Yes, you can buy a multiprocessor license.
Call up a software vendor and get a quote. You can buy a single proc license for a dual proc server. SQL has the option to customize the number of processors it uses.
Also, it goes by physical chips. So, a dual core chip still counts as one proc for licensing. The last time I got a quote, the MS rep said they have a formula for calculating which option, proc licensing or CALs, will be the cheapest. Server [ 2 ]. Free download. Big data node cores [ 4 ].

Try SQL Server Part of the complexity of this database software is the sheer number of other software applications it must communicate with.
There are usually two types of organizations that require Microsoft SQL Server, one with a limited number of users, such as a private network. For this type of customer, they offer a separate license for each device that accesses the network, usually, when there is a limited number of users. For businesses with a near-unlimited number of users such as a large organization that provides access to the public, Microsoft offers SQL Server licenses by the server and works as a catch-all license for all users as opposed to by the device.
This is referred to as the core licensing model. An SQL server can be used for a variety of functions and come in all kinds of sizes depending on the workload and function. An SQL server also processes different kinds of data including data warehousing, big data clusters, financial data, and performs data analysis.
Core-based licensing is the licensing model used by Microsoft and allows license for any device accessing the SQL Server. Under this license, each server that hosts SQL Server software on a physical server or operating system environment OSE will be granted a license for each core in the processor.
An example of this could be a credit card company operating a server farm that must process thousands of transactions each minute. Each time a device such as a point of purchase system requires access, they will have client access licenses that allow them to access the information on the server. SQL software licensing must be included with the purchase of a server and is a separate fee. As part of the services provider license agreement, you will need at least four core licenses for each physical processor on the server core licenses are sold in packs of two , as well as having all of the components within the server appropriately licensed.
You cannot use the license by spreading it out across components in multiple servers. For example, if you try to run the SQL server reporting services on another machine, you will violate the license agreement. With this, you will have a license assigned to the operating system, the physical server, the physical cores as well as an individual license for anyone accessing the server.
