SQL Licensing query

Question

One of my Application Team wants to Install SQL 2012 EE
in Development Server
for Sharepoint Application and they have got
share point License for it. They
are also having MSDN License. Now the
Question is, Can I Instal SQL 2012 EE
for Sharepoint application in
Dev Server using MSDN License? or Do I have to
purchase seperate
license to Install SQL 2012 EE in Dev Server?

Answer 1

We need to be little cautious about below pointers too:
First point: About AlwaysOn Availability Group Primary and Replicas should be cautiously set and also failover part must be very distinct so that failover should not be effected. How about Replicas and Primary, are they on same IP segment or different, as
you are saying DR, so they must be on separate IP segment.
For details, please check below link:

Second Point:
For AlwaysOn, you will need license for EE edition.
Also, you can get this done using standard edition too for AlwaysOn:
Check below statement for reference:
Microsoft would love if everyone purchased SQL Server 2012 Enterprise for all their database applications, but the reality is that not every database application needs it. You need to take a long hard look at the applications that'll be placed on the database
server you're consolidating to see if any of those applications actually need the Enterprise edition. Although having features such as AlwaysOn Availability Groups, online index rebuilding, and table partitioning are nice, typically tier 3 applications and
even some tier 2 applications don't need these features, so the Standard edition can run these applications without issue.

So you need to priorities your requirement.
