Licensing for virtualization and
containers
SQL Server 2022 offers use rights for virtual machines and
containers, to provide flexibility for customers’
deployments. There are two primary licensing options for
virtual machines and containers in SQL Server 2022 – the
ability to license individual virtual machines and containers
and the ability to license for maximum densities in highly
virtualized or high-density container environments.
INDIVIDUAL VIRTUAL MACHINES OR CONTAINERS
As hardware capabilities grow, it continues to be more
common for each database to use a fraction of its server’s
computing power. When deploying databases on Virtual
Machines (VMs) or containers that use just a fraction of a
physical server, savings can be achieved by licensing
individual VMs or containers. Licensing SQL Server 2022 by
VM or container is an option under core subscription
licenses or licenses with SA only.
Note: For licensing, Containers follow the same rules as
licensing SQL Server for virtual machines.
Note: When licensing VMs or containers under the Server
+ CAL model, the number of virtual or physical cores does
not affect the number of server licenses required.
•
To license a VM or container with core licenses,
purchase a core subscription license or license with SA
for each virtual core (virtual thread) allocated to the
VM or the number of cores configured for access by
the container (with a minimum of 4 licenses per VM or
container).
•
To license a single VM or container with a server license
(for Standard Edition only), purchase a server license for
each VM or container, and a CAL for each user or device.
•
Each VM or container covered with subscription licenses
or licenses with SA can be moved frequently within a
server farm, or to a third-party hoster or cloud services
provider*, without the need to purchase additional SQL
Server licenses.
*Customers can use Authorized Mobility Partners under licenses with SA (via
License Mobility through SA) or Authorized Outsourcers under subscription
licenses or licenses with SA (via the Flexible Virtualization Benefit). See
https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/productoffering for details.
HIGH-DENSITY VIRTUALIZATION OR CONTAINER
DEPLOYMENT
Further savings can be achieved by licensing SQL Server
high density VM or container deployments. This is a great
option for customers who want to take advantage of the full
computing power of their physical servers and have very
dynamic provisioning and de-provisioning of virtual
resources or container images.
