Is it the last chance to go for the cheap Standard Edition and spend the difference on lawyers? Certainly worth noting somewhere on the marketing site. There is no main page content for SQL pre-R2, even though that version is still supported and is a more recent version than SQL Perhaps this was a goof-up or oversight, but in my mind, it is a big gap of missing material especially since there are material differences between SQL R2 and pre-R2 such as the discussed maximums.
I ask our licensing team for it but only can get enterprise from MSDN. If you put in a Standard key you get Standard Edition. Hope that helps! Good question. Developer Edition is probably supposed to behave like the top tier edition.
Hi, if you install two instances on the same host, both running license by processors, are you paying twice licensing fee? We need a lawyer to answer this. Jason — actually, you need Microsoft to answer that. As previously noted I recently set up a cluster with 4 Std instances.
Once all cores are licensed, there is no more to pay. Microsoft is a bit more sensible than that. Remember too that hyperthreading does NOT double the number of cores which need licensing.
That is pretty much what Bent was advocating in the post, which I agree with. Or i need to Buy 3 Licenses for each Instance ….. Totally Lost in Licensening Sea. If you have 8 cores, with each instance showing default affinity and therefore able to use all 8 cores, you license 8 cores. In total. NOT 8 cores for each instance. If the result is not a whole number, round up to the next whole number.
How can I utilize all of the RAM now on the server? Is there some switch or setting that will allow the server to recognize all the RAM? Your email address will not be published.

I have a server with GB of memory, and have installed Windows R2 server on it. Will this cause any problems since the maximum memory amount for Windows R2 is 32 GB of memory? Tuesday, July 31, PM. Yes, but if I have more than 32 GB of memory in the server, will it cause any problems with my Windows R2 server installed on that hardware?
What I am doing is restoring a server from backup. This server is Windows R2 standard, but the server that I am restoring to has GB of memory on it. I want to know if this will cause any problems with my OS. How ever it should not casue any problem until and unless if your restoring application are harware independent. Thank you!
