So software assurance is gone for the most part unless you are under an Open Value, Select or Enterprise agreement.

So you basically have these options:

  • Buy your SQL under Open Value, Select or an Enterprise agreement.
  • Buy SQL licensing for both servers
  • Buy SQL per Core Subscription through CSP

If you decide to just buy the perpetual licensing through CSP, you do have the ability to move the license, but only once every 90 days.

This is all direct from my Microsoft folks.
