Hey, you! Thanks for tuning into the SAM channel. Licensing a SQL Server is a lot like buying a new car for the family. It's frustrating, it costs about the same, and there are a ton of different options to choose from. But don't let that spoil your mood. Because Jordan is here to hopefully bring clarity to the crystal clear SQL Server licensing scheme that Microsoft has put in place. Just kidding! It's actually pretty hard to tell what goes where when buying a license for one of these bad boys, but we hope to clear that up today. If your boss has asked you to decide which license to buy for a SQL Server, it's important that you do your due diligence and know the facts before signing the contract. Because it could blow your budget tremendously if you're not aware of the little pitfalls that lurk when buying a license for your SQL servers. If you want to be absolutely sure you are making the right decision when purchasing a SQL Server license, contact our experts here: https://metrixdata360.com/contact-us/​ One call could save you thousands in software costs.
