Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard (core licence): the Linux-ready database for unlimited access

Unleash the full power of your data-driven applications with Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Standard, licensed under the flexible and future-proof core-based model. This edition offers groundbreaking features such as native Linux support and advanced analytics, plus the freedom of unlimited users: you need no separate Client Access Licences (CALs). Buy your core licences here as a perpetual licence with no time limit from Vollversion-Software and free your websites, online shops or cloud applications from annoying licence restrictions.

The "per core" licensing model explained

This option gives you maximum flexibility for any scenario with many or unknown users.

  • 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".
  • No CALs needed: 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 2017 Standard

  • Linux support: Install and run your SQL Server database natively on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Ubuntu – with no dependency on Windows.
  • Docker containers: Benefit from containerisation for simple deployment and portability of your database workloads.
  • Python & R integration: Run demanding machine learning scripts in Python and R directly inside your database and benefit from high-performance analytics.
  • Graph databases: Model and analyse complex many-to-many relationships with the new built-in support for graph data.

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.

What is special about SQL Server 2017 on Linux?

SQL Server 2017 was the first version to run natively on Linux, giving you maximum flexibility in choosing your server infrastructure. You benefit from the advantages of the Linux ecosystem (performance, security, open-source tools) when running your SQL workloads.

How many 2-core packs do I need for my server with two 10-core processors?

For a server with two 10-core processors, you need 10 x "2-core packs". You must always license the total number of cores.
