Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a full SQL Server 2014 licence?

No. This product is an Extended Security Updates (ESU) licence for eligible SQL Server 2014 Enterprise deployments. It is intended to provide access to Critical security updates during the coverage term, not a new SQL Server installation licence.

What does “2-Core Pack” mean for this ESU SKU?

ESU primarily provides security updates. As noted, existing support contracts can be used to receive technical support for covered servers, where applicable under your agreement.

This listing is for Year 1 coverage from Jul 2025 to Jul 2026. If you need continued coverage beyond this period, ESU is generally available for up to three years, subject to Microsoft terms and eligibility.
