Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard (Server + CAL licence): the intelligent database for business intelligence & hybrid cloud

Take the decisive step into modern data analysis with Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard. This version builds the perfect bridge between your on-premises data centre and the cloud, and for the first time integrates advanced analytics directly into the database. Licensed under the "Server + CAL" model, it is the ideal, budget-friendly choice for small to medium-sized businesses with a known number of users. Buy the server licence here as a perpetual licence with no time limit and add the matching client access licences (CALs) for your team. At Vollversion-Software you get a future-proof database platform.

The "Server + CAL" licensing model explained

This model is perfect for internal applications with a clearly defined number of users.

  • Step 1: Buy the server licence: By buying this product, you acquire the licence to install SQL Server 2016 Standard on one server.
  • Step 2: Add client access licences (CALs): In addition, a separate SQL Server 2016 CAL must be purchased for every user (User CAL) or every device (Device CAL) that accesses the server.
  • The advantage: The initial investment is very low, and you only pay for the number of users or devices that actually need access.

Key features of SQL Server 2016 Standard

  • Modern business intelligence (BI): Create modern, mobile reports that display optimally on any device. Benefit from end-to-end BI solutions directly on your server.
  • Advanced analytics with R Services: Run complex statistical analyses with the popular R programming language directly in your database, without having to export the data.
  • Stretch Database: An innovative hybrid cloud feature that lets you move rarely used "cold" data seamlessly and securely to the Microsoft Azure cloud, reducing local storage costs.
  • Improved security: Features such as "Always Encrypted" and "Row-Level Security" protect your sensitive data both at rest and during queries.

Your benefits at Vollversion-software.de

  • No subscription: Pay once and use SQL Server 2016 permanently. Full cost control is guaranteed.
  • Instant download: You receive your product key and the download link within a few minutes of purchase.
  • Secure payment methods: We protect your transactions with SSL encryption.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly am I buying with this product?

You are buying the base licence to install SQL Server 2016 Standard on a server. To access it, you must also buy SQL Server 2016 User or Device CALs.

What is the biggest advantage of SQL Server 2016 over older versions?

For the first time, SQL Server 2016 integrates "advanced analytics" directly into the database through R Services, offers significantly improved security features such as "Always Encrypted", and connects your on-premises database to the cloud with "Stretch Database".

When is this Server + CAL model worthwhile?

This model is ideal for internal applications with a manageable number of employees. If, for example, you provide a database for 20 employees, the total cost of one server licence plus 20 CALs is often lower than with core-based licensing.

Windows Server 2016 introduced core-based licensing. Does that also apply to SQL Server?

Yes, SQL Server 2016 also offers core-based licensing. However, it is the alternative to the cheaper Server + CAL model offered here. You choose the model that best suits your use case.
