Questions about SQL Server licenses

Standard or Enterprise?

Choose Standard if its limits and features cover your workload. Choose Enterprise if you need full Always On availability groups, online index operations, or more compute capacity and memory than Standard allows.

Which SQL Server version should I choose?

Choose the version your application supports. SQL Server 2025 raises the Standard limits to 32 cores and 256 GB of buffer pool memory per instance (2022: 24 cores and 128 GB).

Can I reinstall SQL Server or move the license to another server?

RETAIL Licenses can’t be reused. If you later reinstall the software or the operating system, or change the server’s hardware, that activation can’t be used again, and our warranty doesn’t cover it. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Need a server to run it on?

Browse Windows Server license keys. Not sure what a RETAIL License allows? Read How our licenses work.

  1. Download SQL Server 2022 from the Microsoft Evaluation Center: the link is in the Download tab.
  2. Install SQL Server. If setup asks for a product key, enter yours.
  3. If you installed the Evaluation edition, open SQL Server Installation Center, go to Maintenance > Edition Upgrade, enter your license key and follow the steps.

Microsoft explains it in Upgrade to a different edition of SQL Server.

Installing SQL Server 2022? Step-by-step guide: How to Install SQL Server 2022 and Enter Your Product Key.

Official download from Microsoft

Download from the Microsoft Evaluation Center (official website). Microsoft provides SQL Server there as the Evaluation edition: after installing it, you upgrade it to the edition you bought with your license key (SQL Server Installation Center > Maintenance > Edition Upgrade). This works on stand-alone installations, not on failover clusters.

Download SQL Server 2022 from Microsoft

Microsoft asks you to fill in a short form before the download starts.

Then activate it with your license key: the steps are in the How to activate tab.
