Processor Licensing Model

Published: November 7, 2005

Under this structure, a customer acquires a separate Processor license for each processor that is located in the server running the SQL Server software. If you have made a processor inaccessible to all operating system copies on which the SQL Server software is set up to run, you do not need a software license for that processor. This licensing model is most appropriate for applications that are accessible through the Internet and for internal applications with a high client-to-server ratio.

For more information about licensing SQL Server, read the Server Processor End-User License Agreement (EULA).
