FAQ

Can I use this license for a virtualized environment?
Yes, as long as you license all physical cores on the host (or assign dedicated cores per VM). SQL Server Enterprise allows unlimited virtualization with Software Assurance; without SA, you must license each VM individually. Consult Microsoft's licensing guide for your specific setup.

What is the difference between retail and OEM licenses?
Retail licenses are transferable between servers (subject to re-activation) and can be used for upgrades or fresh installs. OEM licenses are tied to the original hardware and cannot be moved. This retail version offers flexibility for changing infrastructure.
