Secure Your Data With SQL Server 2019 Relational and Big Data Come Together in SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition + 5 CALs. Download the Guide How to License Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition Option #1 SERVER + CAL: Server + CAL provides the option to license users and/or devices with low-cost access to incremental SQL Server deployments: Each instance running SQL Server software requires a license. Each user and/or device accessing a licensed SQL Server requires a SQL Server CAL that is the same version or newer (e.g., to access a SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition server, users need a SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2017, or SQL Server 2019 CAL). Each SQL Server CAL allows users access to utilize SQL in their SQL environment, including Standard Edition, legacy Business Intelligence, and Enterprise Edition Servers, whether on-premises or in Azure. Option #2 PER CORE: Pre-Core gives more precise measurements of computing power and a consistent metric, regardless of whether you deploy solutions on physical servers, in on-premises data centers, or in virtual or cloud environments. Core-based licensing is appropriate for scenarios including internet/extranet workloads, high availability configurations, and when customers cannot count users or devices accessing SQL. When running SQL Server in a physical OSE, you must license all physical cores on the server.
