Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard (core licence): the intelligent database for unlimited users & hybrid cloud

Run high-performance, highly scalable database applications with Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard, licensed under the flexible core-based model. This licence type is the first choice for websites, online shops and any application with a large, unknown or unlimited number of users. Benefit from advanced analytics, modern BI features and the key advantage: no separate Client Access Licences (CALs) are required. You license the power of your server and enjoy maximum freedom. Buy your core licences here as a perpetual licence with no time limit from Vollversion-Software.

The "per core" licensing model explained

This model is perfect for external-facing applications and unlimited access.

  • Principle: You buy licences for the physical CPU cores in your server. Licences are sold in packs of 2 cores each.
  • Minimum licensing: At least 4 cores per physical processor must be licensed. For a server with one CPU, you therefore need at least 2 x "2-core packs".
  • The unbeatable advantage: Once all cores in the server are licensed, an unlimited number of users and devices can access SQL Server – without any CALs.

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 "2 Core" product?

You are buying a licence pack that covers 2 physical CPU cores. As Microsoft requires a minimum of 4 cores to be licensed per processor, you must buy at least 2 of these packs for a server with one CPU.

If I license the cores, do I really not need any CALs?

Exactly, that is the big advantage. Once all physical cores in a server are correctly licensed, you no longer need User or Device CALs to access that SQL Server. Access is unlimited.

Who is this core-based model right for?

This model is ideal for applications with a high or unknown number of users. The classic example is a database running behind a public website or an online shop.

How many 2-core packs do I need for my server with a 12-core processor?

For a 12-core processor, you need 6 x "2-core packs" in total to license all cores and meet the licensing terms.
