SQL Licence for Configuration Manager
Hello,
we are CSP Partner in germany and one of our customers (they have M365 E5 licenses) wanted to install the Configuration Manager regarding to this article
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/understand/product-and-licensing-faq
So we asked our CSP Tier 1 Partner to get an License Key for the Configuration Manager as it is described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/understand/product-and-licensing-faq#i-have-purchased-ems-or-microsoft-365-through-a-cloud-solution-provider--csp---do-i-have-rights-to-use-configuration-manager-
Then we got an Key from MS-Support, but to get the Configuration Manager fully running he also needs an Licence for the SQL Standard Server. At this point the MS Support only provided us some key which are not working (I think because the support send us static keys for SQL Server 2017 and our customer tried to install 2022).
So who can help me to get the right keys for our customer? The MS-Support can't help here anymore and he archived the ticket...
Thanks

I'm not clear on what you'd like to accomplish since you've mentioned M365 as well as SQL license keys.
Are you asking how to purchase the license SQL Standard Server? If so, please find the SQL Server 2022 Licensing Guide here SQL Server 2022—Pricing | Microsoft
At this point the MS Support only provided us some key which are not working (I think because the support send us static keys for SQL Server 2017 and our customer tried to install 2022).

I've also attached information from Get Licensing Ready on the topic of SQL for your review.

Hi, thank for your response.
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if you read my previous post exactly?
I wrote in the first paragraph that our customer wants to install the Configuration Manager and that he is entitled to do so through his E5 licenses, as described by Microsoft here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/understand/product-and-licensing-faq#i-have-purchased-ems-or-microsoft-365-through-a-cloud-solution-provider--csp---do-i-have-rights-to-use-configuration-manager-
I am therefore not asking how I can buy a SQL Standard license, but how I can get one to use Configuration Manager.Yes, it is true that we are CSP indirect partners. However, as I also wrote in my post, we have already tried to open a ticket with Microsoft via our distributor. However, this has now been closed after they sent us the wrong keys and we asked for further support.
