SQL Server Standard Core compute capacity limit - Licensing
Hi all,
I have a license compliance concern in mind.
I would like to understand how the SQL Server Standard Core license is applied to the DB instance. Does it have a software-based limiter to restrict the compute capacity. For example, if my client was to buy a 4-core license and deploy it to a 64-core physical server. Will the DB instance run at 4-core or 24-core (Max)?
Otherwise, do we have other means to ensure we are complied to the license?
Annotation (max compute limit by edition of SQL Server):
Regards,
Wong
