SQL Server 2014 Editions availability by licensing model:
SQL Server 2014 Edition

Standard
Note: SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition is licensed under the Developer Tools
model, which is ‘Per User’ based.
Special Note for Enterprise Edition Users: With the
introduction of SQL Server 2012, Enterprise Edition was
removed from the Server + CAL model and new server
licenses are no longer available. However, customers with
active Software Assurance (SA) coverage can continue to
renew SA on Enterprise Edition servers and upgrade to SQL
Server 2014 software. Note: for customers who upgrade to
SQL Server 2014, a 20 core limit applies to the software.

Licensing for Virtualization
SQL Server 2014 offers virtualization rights, options and
benefits to provide flexibility for customers deploying in
virtual environments. There are two primary virtualization
licensing options in SQL Server 2014: the ability to license
individual virtual machines and the ability to license for
maximum virtualization in highly virtualized and private
cloud environments.

Individual Virtual Machines
As hardware capabilities grow, it continues to be more
common for each database to use a fraction of its server’s
computing power. When deploying databases on Virtual
Machines (VMs) that use just a fraction of a physical server,
savings can be achieved by licensing individual VMs.

To license a VM with core licenses, purchase a core

the VM (with a minimum of 4 core licenses per VM).

Each licensed VM covered with SA can be moved
frequently within a server farm, or to a third-party hoster
or cloud services provider, without the need to purchase
additional SQL Server licenses.

How to License VMs with Core Licenses
License the virtual cores in each virtual machine
There is a minimum of 4 core licenses required for each
virtual machine
VM1
VM2
VM with 4 virtual cores
4 core licenses required
VM with 6 Virtual Cores
6 core licenses required
6 core licenses required
How to License VMs with Server Licenses + CALs
License each VM with a server license
License each user or device with a CAL
VM1
VM2
VM with 4 virtual cores
1 server license required
VM with 6 virtual cores
1 server license required
Note: When licensing VMs under the Server + CAL model, the number of virtual
cores does not affect the number of server licenses required.
High Density Virtualization
Further savings can be achieved by operating a SQL Server
private cloud. This is a great option for customers who
want to take advantage of the full computing power of
their physical servers and have very dynamic provisioning
and de-provisioning of virtual resources.

Customers can deploy an unlimited number of VM’s on
the server and utilize the full capacity of the licensed
hardware, by fully licensing the server (or server farm)
