Hi,
Completely new to this SQL server database and licensing.
Before we decide to move towards SQL server database,wanted to know little bit about licensing.
We are SMB. Lets say we wanted to go with SQL Server standard edition.
This SQL server database will be installed on a virtual machine ( 1 socket 4vCPU) on a VMWare host.
The VM guest OS will be Windows 2012 R2. Around 8 users might access this SQL server database.
What kind of server,CAL or Virtual licenses do we need for our above SMB environment with 8 users accessing SQL server database (standard edition).
Any other suggestions are welcome, thanks .
