Description
SQL Server 2022 Standard as a used volume license under core licensing. Licensing is based on physical processor cores; client access licenses are not needed at all.
When core and when Server + CAL
Core licensing pays off as soon as the number of users is large or hard to count: with web applications, with access from outside, with services that query in the background. Server + CAL stays cheaper as long as a manageable, named group of people accesses the server. Tell us the core count and the number of users, and we will compare both options before you commit.
How many core licenses you need
At least four per processor, licensed in packs of two. With virtualization, you either license all assigned virtual cores, but at least four per virtual machine, or you license all physical cores of the host. Support runs until January 11, 2033.

Frequently asked questions about this offer
Why is no price shown here?
Because the price depends on the quantity and on the individual purchase. Tell us the quantity you need and you will receive a written quote with volume tiers and a binding validity period.
Is this license technically identical to a new one?
Yes. It is the same software with the same features and the same updates, for as long as the version is in support. The difference lies solely in how it was acquired, not in the product.
Which documents do I receive?
The license agreement in your company's name, the transfer declaration covering your quantity, the previous owner's deletion confirmation and evidence of the chain of title. These documents are part of the delivery and cost nothing extra.
What happens if the quantity I need is unavailable?
Then we tell you before you start planning. The shortfall can often be sourced at short notice; where that is not realistic, we suggest an alternative or advise against it. We do not make commitments we cannot keep.
Do I need additional client access licenses (CALs)?
For server products, usually yes; for desktop software, no. What applies in this case is shown in the license details above. Tell us the number of users or devices and we will work out the requirement with you.
