Description
SQL Server 2022 Standard as a used volume license in the Server + CAL model. The server license covers the installation; every accessing person or device additionally needs a client access license.
When this model pays off
As long as a manageable, named group of people accesses the server, Server + CAL is considerably cheaper than core licensing. The threshold shifts with the server's core count; as a rule of thumb, switching to core licenses pays off from about 25 to 30 users. Tell us both numbers and we will compare the options for you.
Keep the core limit in mind
In the Server + CAL model, the database engine may use at most 20 cores, even if the server has more. If the machine grows beyond that, core licensing is mandatory. We list client access licenses separately as User and Device CALs. 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.
