Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a perpetual licence or a subscription?

This SKU is a License/Software Assurance Pack under Microsoft Open Value. It provides licence entitlement along with Software Assurance coverage for the agreement term; the exact rights depend on your organisation’s Open Value agreement and the SQL Server licensing model used for deployment.

Can I buy this SKU as a standalone purchase?

It is listed as an Additional Product for the Open Value program, which typically means it is added to an existing or new Open Value agreement. India Enterprises can help validate eligibility and the correct ordering path.

Does “Single Language” restrict database functionality?

“Single Language” refers to licensing language designation for the product media/usage in the agreement context; it does not change core SQL Server database capabilities.

Does this include Client Access Licenses (CALs) or core licences?

No. This SKU specifies 1 licence as provided in the License/SA Pack. Depending on how you license SQL Server Standard (Server + CAL or Core-based), additional licences (such as CALs) may be required. We can help confirm the correct licensing set for your deployment.
