My query is I have 3 users which can also work from home as and when
required, will they be covered under the licences we use in the office or do
i need to purchase 3 more, these users will be using different machines at
home
thanksHello Leonard!
SQL Server is available under three licensing options:
â?¢ Per Processor Licensing Model. A Processor license is required for each
physical or virtual processor that is accessed by an operating system
environment running SQL Server. This license does not require any device or
user client access licenses (CALs).
â?¢ Server plus Device CALs Licensing Model. A Server license is required for
each operating system environment running an instance of SQL Server, as well
as a CAL for each client device that accesses a system running SQL Server.
â?¢ Server plus User CALs Licensing Model. A Server license is required for
each operating system environment running an instance of SQL Server, as well
as a CAL for each user who accesses a system running SQL Server.
So, If you buy User CALs for those 3 users then you do not need to buy extra
licenses for them.
However, I encourage you to contact to a local authorized license vendor to
get the most correct answer about this stuff.
