Intel allegedly arriving with some 288 core behemoth CPUs in the next year or so; can't wait to see the cost of licensing SQL Enterprise on a dual socket so equipped!!!! (WIll cost 9x as much as server itself!)

[@SAMexpertTV]

I would go with per-VM licensing in that case.

Hi Alex
I have a Problem that you can not purchase a sql server 2016 nowadays ,its only sql 2022 that u can purchase now.. my aim is to license a current sql 2016 thats up and running , how can we acheive that
Is purchasing SQL server 2022 + software assurance can have downgrade rights to license 2016 SQL

[@SAMexpertTV]

Downgrade rights are available without SA for all volume licenses. Not sure about the retail channel.

[@3attialeo]

@SAMexpertTV yes it is but up to 2017 sql . Is there a way to license 2016 sql nowadays

[@SAMexpertTV]

@@3attialeo who told you that? It’s wrong information. Buy a SQL 2022 license and use 2016 under it.

[@3attialeo]

@SAMexpertTV Hi SAM , i bought a license from a csp and on the m365 portal i can download only up to 2017 sql N-2 cannot go below than that
