Hi everyone,
I have purchased SQL server 2014 license, Core-based licence. Do I have to config this licence for my product OR it is included in production key?
Nice week everyone!

Nothing you have to do to the installation. You've paid for your license, install the product and go to work.

Well now I'm curious.
If you paid for 8 cores but have 16, does the license key only allow SQL to map to the first 8?
I assume it won't use all 16 and cause a license violation?
(I only messed with licenses back in the 2008 days when it was CPU not core so I never had to pay detailed attention to that)

Nope. You can go and install it on a 16 core server. But, when Microsoft comes along with an audit, your company will pay one heck of a lot more money than they would have.

So you need to be sure to specify to only use the # of cores you licensed then, right?
