SQL Server is licensed per server and, for some editions, per user or device as well. This category covers the SQL Server editions we stock, from 2012 through 2019, in Standard and Enterprise editions along with Client Access Licenses.

Choosing between them comes down to two questions. First, the edition: SQL Server 2019 Standard covers most line of business databases and reporting, while SQL Server 2019 Enterprise is the one to use when you need Always On availability groups, memory beyond the Standard edition limit, or the data warehousing features Microsoft reserves for Enterprise. Second, the access model: under the Server plus CAL model each user or device connecting to the instance needs its own Client Access License, bought in addition to the server licence. Check which model your deployment uses before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable.

Delivery and activation: licences are sent by email once payment is confirmed, with setup instructions. Our support can help with installation questions by email or chat.
