    Hello All,

    I have a virtual server with 4 cores. We are planning to install SQL server 2014 Standard edition on the virtual server very soon. Can somebody throw some light on licensing/pricing of SQL server 2014? I know the information is available on Microsoft website but still little confused how it works with virtual environment.

    Any information is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Pricing for SQL Server can be confusing.

    I would contact my local Microsoft sales office for the answer.

    Alvin,

    I know it's little confusing. A small correction. We are planing to buy Standard edition and not enterprise.

    You have two choices. One, license the physical hardware on which your VM run. Two, license the VM on which SQL Server will run. Using Standard Edition, you may need to go with option 2. Your best bet is to contact Microsoft for clarification and help on deciding which way to go.
