SQLSvrStdCore - License Type

2014 - Edition

SNGL - Single

MVL - Microsoft Volume Licensing

2Lic - 2 Licenses

CoreLic - Core based

So this is Per Core

It will support 2 cores

Please don't confuse Cores for Processors, its no longer done on physical CPUs in the server but how many cores are on the CPUs

Also the minimum purchase per server is 4 cores even if the server only has 2 cores

I believe each license is for two cores, so two licenses would support 4 cores. I dont think you are able to buy a license for just one core, they are sold in two-core packs.

Hi,

Thanks for clarifying doubts.

suppose if SQLSvrStdCore 2014 SNGL MVL 2Lic CoreLic is purchased , so can we download and install SQL Server 2012 Std Edition 64-bit Per core from Microsoft volume licence site/link or we need to download only SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition 64-bit Per Core.

Regards,

Nikhil Desai

No, minimum for server/virtual machine is licenses for 4 core, downgrade rights are part of volume licensing, you can read details in Product Use Rights (PUR). http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/product-licensing/products.aspx
