– You can license your SQL Server:
• Per client
• Or, per CPU
– Let’s talk about each!

Client Access Licenses (CALs):
– Require a separate CAL for each device/user
• Concurrent access only…
–Works great for small departments/field users

CPU licensing:
–Allows for unlimited connections per license
• Ideal for internet/web uses
– Licensing is now down to the core
• Previous versions only required a license per socket
