1. if the user purchases the Software SQL Server 2019 Enterprise Core will this get transferred to Perpetual after 1 year or not.

2. what will be the impact, if the user didn't renew after 1 year? service interruption/ data loss?

Hi @JAZSOPAD 

Please note that Software subscription is different and Perpetual Software is different. 

In Software you get the update and it is  one-time purchase, however in Perpetual Software you can follow the n-1 and n-2 to downgrade the versions. 

From Software Subscriptions, the same cannot be converted to Perpetual Software. 

If you go for Perpetual Software trial then the same needs to be in Perpetual after Trial. 

If the Software Subscriptions get expired, all the accesses will be lost. 

Note: you can upgrade from standard edition to enterprise edition.
