Microsoft recently released new licensing information for SQL Server 2012. To understand how SQL Server will be licensed, we first must quickly review how Microsoft
has partitioned their editions of SQL Server. There will be three editions to license, Enterprise, Business Intelligence and Standard.
Enterprise
The Enterprise edition includes AlwaysOn, Columnstore, Max virtualization and the Business Intelligence capabilities.
Enterprise licenses will be core-based.
Business Intelligence
The new edition, Business Intelligence, will include Power View, Reporting, Analytics, Data Quality Services, Master Data Services and the Standard editions
capabilities.
Business Intelligence licenses will be Server and CAL based.
Standard
The Standard Edition offers the basics of database services, reporting and analytics.
Standard licensing will be both core-based and Server and CAL based.
