SQL Server 2022 Standard is technically limited to the use of a maximum of 24 CPU cores per instance. With this licensing, you can harness the software’s full potential and ensure that your computationally intensive database workloads can operate at the maximum supported processor performance without having to move into the Enterprise price bracket.
With a 24-core licence, all internal and external access is already covered. There is no need for the complex tracking and licensing of individual users or devices (CALs). This not only offers you maximum legal certainty in the event of unpredictable user growth, but also significantly reduces the administrative burden during audits.
With features such as the SQL Server Ledger, the 2022 version enables tamper-proof verification of data changes using blockchain technology. In conjunction with our comprehensive documentation of the licence chain, you will fulfil both the technical and organisational audit requirements of the NIS 2 Directive for critical database infrastructures.
Yes. You have the flexibility to distribute the 24 cores across a single physical host or across multiple virtual instances. This enables highly efficient resource allocation within your server environment. As this is a perpetual licence, this right of use remains permanently yours, regardless of any future changes to the manufacturer’s licensing model.
