Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition – 1 CAL License

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition – 1 CAL License – Overview

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition brings industry-leading performance and security to your data infrastructure. This edition introduces Big Data Clusters, allowing you to combine relational data with unstructured big data. This specific package utilizes the “Server + CAL” licensing model, which is the most cost-effective choice for smaller teams or scenarios where counting users is easier than counting processor cores.

By purchasing this Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition license, you receive a perpetual right to use the software. We deliver a genuine product key and the included Client Access License (CAL) directly to your email. Whether you are running on Windows, Linux, or containers, this license provides a unified platform for all your data needs.

Main features

• Big Data Clusters: Integrate SQL Server with HDFS and Spark to analyze all your data—relational and non-relational—in one place.
• Intelligent Query Processing: Features like row mode memory grant feedback automatically improve performance without requiring code changes.
• Always Encrypted with Enclaves: Protect sensitive data while it is in use (not just at rest) for complex computations without exposing it to the database engine.
• Cross-Platform Choice: Run your database workloads on Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, or Docker.
• Database Compatibility: Easily upgrade from older versions with fewer application changes thanks to improved compatibility levels.

Who it’s for

• Small to Mid-Sized Organizations: Businesses that need the power of SQL Server 2019 but have a limited number of internal users (making the Server+CAL model cheaper than Per-Core).
• Data Analysts: Professionals needing to integrate big data tools like Spark directly into their SQL environment.
• Compliance-Focused Firms: Companies that require the “Always Encrypted” feature to meet strict data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA).

FAQ

What is the difference between 2017 and 2019?

SQL Server 2019 adds Big Data Clusters, faster database recovery, and enhanced Linux support compared to 2017.

Do I need a CAL for every user?

Yes. This Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition pack includes only the first one. Every distinct human or device accessing the database needs their own CAL.

Is this license transferable?

This license is tied to your organization and can be moved to a new server once every 90 days (or sooner in case of hardware failure), per Microsoft’s standard volume licensing terms.
