Dear Team,
The Customer has purchased SQL server 2008 product with 5 CALs to use as his ERP DB, which is running on Windows server standard R2 evaluation version, will be expiring in 20 days. ( Server spec is 1 processor, 6 cores, no virtual machines)
- Since windows server 2008 license is no longer available, can he use the product key issued for 2012 server with existing 2008 evaluation version?
- Would it be possible to buy only the license without CALs for this standalone server?
- If he deploys new servers later on, does he need to purchase separate license per server, or is it possible to use CALS for the existing license?
Thanks
