SQL Server number of processors limitation and licenses

In the following link by Microsoft they are showing the number of processors one instance of SQL Server is limited to use
Compute Capacity Limits by Edition of SQL Server
And also they are saying:
"These limits apply to a single instance of SQL Server. They represent the maximum compute capacity that a single instance will use. They do not constrain the server upon which the instance may be deployed. In fact deploying multiple instances of SQL
Server on the same physical server is an efficient way to use the compute capacity of a physical server with more sockets and/or cores than the capacity limits below."
My question:
Does this implies that when I licenses the server I licenses all server processors once regardless of the number SQL Server instances installed on that one server. 
For example if I have one server that has 32 cores. I have to buy licenses for all 32 cores once with amount X, but I can install as much instances as I want and the amount X will remain X, and it will not be:
X * number of instances installed 
... is this true ?

Thanks Diramoh... 
Just to make sure that you've answered what I've
exactly asked about:
ONLY under [Server+CAL] licensing model: If I paid amount X for license, this amount will NOT defer depending on
the number of SQL Server instances installed on ONE OS.
Example: if I paid 1000$ for licensing a server under
 [Server+CAL] licensing model, and I installed 1 instance of SQL Server, those 1000$ will remain 1000$ even if I install another two SQL server instances on the same OS where the 1st is installed.
Under Core-Base licensing model: If I paid amount X for licensing SQL Server on Y number of cores on ONE OSE, then I installed another N number of SQL Server on that same OSE, then the total amount for licensing will be X * N.
Example: if I paid 1000$ for licensing SQL Server Standard under Core-base licensing model on 4 core machine that has MS Windows Server 2008 R2, then I installed another SQL Server Standard edition on that same Windows Server, the total amount of licensing
will be 1000$ * 2 = 2000$
Please confirm the above two points are correct and that that what you meant to say.
Note: The numbers in the examples are just for example :)

  • How do I change an IP address of SQL Server which is locally hosted and is not on cluster?

    Hi All,
    How do I change an IP address of SQL Server which is locally hosted and is not on cluster?
    I am asking about IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.

  • Upgrade OM 2012 to SP1 Beta - Version of SQL Server for the Operational Database and the Data Warehouse

    Hello,
    When I try to verify the prerequisites to upgrade my SCOM 2012 UR2 Platform to SP1 Beta, I have these errors :
    The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database.
    The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse.
    But when I execute this query Select @@version on my MSSQL Instance, the result is :
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64)   Jun 17 2011 00:54:03   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor) 
    But
    here, we can see that :
    Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, are supported.
    Do I need to pach my MSSQL Server with a specific cumulative update package ?
    Thanks.

    These are the requirements for your SQL:
    SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
    Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
    Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
    SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS.  No other collation
    settings are supported.
    The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
    Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
    The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
    For information about how to resolve the issue, see
    System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
    If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
    tempdb Database.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656654.aspx#BKMK_RBF_OperationsDatabase
    Check the SQL server agent service and see whether it is set to automatic AND started. This got me confused at my first SP1 install as well. This is not done by default...
    It's doing common things uncommonly well that brings succes.

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the response.
    I just got an access of the packages. They are of VS 2008 and not 2010.
    Do you know how to upgrade VS 2008 packaged to VS 2013?
    When I tried to open the solution file in VS 2013, it says "incompatible".
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
    aa

    I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
    Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
    you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

  • Having issues with getting SQL Server Express to start services and run.

    Good afternoon everyone,
    I have been working on a 2012 R2 server getting ready to move databases to new hardware.  I had SQL Server Express 2008 R2 running on this server with no issues.  I was handed another software package that ran SQL Express 2012 and had to for compatibility
    reasons.  I have had multiple versions run on Server 2012 before with no issues.  This time, not so lucky.  When the installer from the updated package put on SQL Express 2012 it completed with errors ( error log posted at the end of post) and
    would not allow me to run software.  I then tried the db that I had installed on 2008 R2 and it also gave the  same error as the 2012 version.  IN basic terms the required services attempted to start and shut back down again.  I have received
    Error 1068 about database handles and error %%945.   I know this db has plenty of space and the permissions were added for the Admin account to access both db's.  I then uninstalled both versions and tried again, with the same errors listed when
    I tried to start the services.     I am thinking that a clean install would fix the issue however I am not certain what files/folders/reg entries need to be deleted or modified.  I have researched all the errors I can find, however I am very
    new with SQL anything so I know I am missing something.   I also do not have an "E:" drive on this server (not sure why it is going there). Input would be very welcome as I am not certain where to go from here. 
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi HMLunger,
    Did you install the SQL Server instance successfully? If not, please help to post the summary and detail logs for analysis. By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    However, if you fail to start SQL Server Express service after successfully installing SQL Server,
    you might have to change the paths of the files by running the following scripts from the command prompt. For more details, please review this similar
    thread.
    NET START MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS /f /T3608
    SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    go
    exit;
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    NET STOP MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS
    In addition, you can follow the steps in this KB article to uninstall SQL Server.

  • SQL Server Express - Hardware (cores) limitations ?

    You find a lot of information about the physical  limitations of SQL Server Express engine, but we have a question regarding the "licensing" (even when its for free ;o)))
    Is it allowed to install a SQL Server Express on a physical machine with 8 cores ?
    And if it's allowed, is it allowed for SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012 version ? Or are there differences because of the rather big changes in licensing model in SQL server 2012 ?

    Hi,
    The Express edition is free and does not require license. However, it doesn't have all of the features of Standard. There are some limitations such as database size (10GB) and CPUs (1 socket or 4 cores) and SQL Memory (1GB).
    You can refer to the following web page for more information:

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition and Full Text Indexing

    Hello, we have recently upgraded our web front end server from SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition (in conjuction with upgrading our main production servers to SQL 2008 R2 Standard). We have 12 Databases on our production
    SQL Server that are replicated to our web frontend server to the SQL Express instance. One of these databases has a FULL TEXT INDEX. The production database is running the Adobe iFilter version 9 64Bit. The FULL TEXT CATALOG has been created and populated
    and performs searches as intended. However, upon replication, when using the search option on our web page based on that PDF iFilter, it no longer works. After examining the properties of the FULL TEXT CATALOG, we note that the Catalog size on the subscriber
    end is 0MB in size (whereas it is 3MB on the Publication side). Also the Unique Key Count on the subscriber side is '1' whereas on the publisher side it is 30,000+. After examining the FT Indexing logs on the subscriber side shows an error: "Warning: No appropriate
    filter was found during full-text index population" On the subscriber side which is running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, Adobe Reader 10.1.1 is installed (all 32Bit) with the Adobe iFilter AcroRdIF.dll. When running the SELECT
    * from sys.fulltext_document_types T-Sql statement, the list returned shows the PDF filter to be installed and shows the correct path. Under the System Environment Variables, that path has also been installed (from previous recommendations in researching this
    problem). After numerous reboots, service restarts and re-attempts to get the FT Daemon to crawl - no success. Can anyone please help with this problem? Is there something I am missing? In an attempt to work around this problem thinking there might be a version
    conflict between the 64Bit version on the publisher and the 32Bit version on the subscriber, I disabled the replication of the FULL TEXT CATALOG and tried to create a new catalog on the subscriber with the same results. Thank you for your answers in advance
    - Fustrated! Sorry, somehow this got posted originally under Server Design

    Hello Jeff hope your still out there.  I wrote this question 2 years ago and upgraded to SQL Express with advanced services.  Full Text replication worked until last week.  We are operating in a virtual environment.  My publisher box
    is a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) with SQL Server Standard Edition.  My Web front subscriber is a Windows 2003 R2 (32bit) Server with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 with Advanced Services. Now the exact same thing is happening after 2+ years. 
    We are looking for possible updates that might have broken this but I am stretching that.  Any clues please?  32bit vs. 64bit?

  • Query to Find what SQL Server services running, what status and with what service account

    I need to check what SQL Server services are running(engine,agent,IS,AS,RS,browser and Full text) and what is the present status and what service accounts are been used by them on several servers in a single shot.
    Could any one help me in finding a good script for the same.

    I have been looking for the same thing, the issue I am running into is finding the Actual Service Name.  I know this question is old, and I personally do not understand the reply. 
    so Far I have the following:
    DECLARE @ServiceAcount NVARCHAR(128);
    SET @Service = 'No Return Value'
    --MsDtsServer100 (SSIS)
    EXEC master.dbo.xp_regread
    'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
    'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MsDtsServer100',
    'ObjectName',
    @ServiceAccount OUTPUT;
    SELECT @ServiceAccount;
    I am still looking for the correct service naming for Analysis Services, Distributed Replaay Client, Distributed Replay Controller

  • Use rptproj SSRS for SQL Server 2008R2 in VS 2010 (and/or VS 2012 better(

    In my company, I use VS 2008 and SQLServer 2008R2, and I have rptproj projects in VS 2008.
    The rptproj project has several rdl files.
    I would like use VS 2010 or VS 2012 with SSRS and SQLServer 2008R2.
    SSDT, which was introduced with SQL Server 2012. I suggest not possible migration rpt projects in VS 2008 to VS 2010 / VS 2012
    Any alternative solution to do it ?
    I have seen, but I'm confused it

    Iko says
    You can now use Visual Studio 2010 to edit .rtproj report projects and .rdl reports.
    You need VS10 SP1, then install the Data Tools for VS10, followed by the installation of SQL Server Express 2012 with Reporting Services and Data Tools.

    But I'm confused about it.

    Hi Kiquenet,
    According to your description, you installed VS 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2, and create Reporting Services projects. Now you want to use VS 2010 or VS 2012 to open and manage the reports.
    SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server 2012 or lower, we can directly download Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 from
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36843, then select SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Client Connectivity SDK as
    new shard features to install.
    We can open the projects in both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2010. For local mode only (that is, when not connected to SQL Server), we won’t get the design-time experience for controls that are associated with the viewer in Visual Studio 2008, but
    the project will function correctly at runtime. If we add a feature that’s specific to Visual Studio 2012, the report schema is upgraded automatically and you can no longer open the project in Visual Studio 2008.
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • SQL Server Best Practices Architecture UCS and FAS3270

    Hey thereWe are moving from EMC SAN and physical servers to NetApp fas3270 and virtual environment on Cisco UCS B200 M3.Traditionally - Best Practices for SQL Server Datbases are to separate the following files on spearate LUN's and/or VolumesDatabase Data filesTransaction Log filesTempDB Data filesAlso I have seen additional separations for...
    System Data files (Master, Model, MSDB, Distribution, Resource DB etc...)IndexesDepending on the size of the database and I/O requirements you can add multiple files for databases.  The goal is provide optimal performance.  The method of choice is to separate Reads & Writes, (Random and Sequential activities)If you have 30 Disks, is it better to separate them?  Or is better to leave the files in one continous pool?  12 Drives RAID 10 (Data files)10 Drives RAID 10 (Log files)8 Drives RAID 10 (TempDB)Please don't get too caught up on the numbers used in the example, but place focus on whether or not (using FAS3270) it is better practice to spearate or consolidate drives/volumes for SQL Server DatabasesThanks!

    Hi Michael,It's a completely different world with NetApp! As a rule of thumb, you don't need separate spindles for different workloads (like SQL databases & logs) - you just put them into separate flexible volumes, which can share the same aggregate (i.e. a grouping of physical disks).For more detailed info about SQL on NetApp have a look at this doc:http://www.netapp.com/us/system/pdf-reader.aspx?pdfuri=tcm:10-61005-16&m=tr-4003.pdfRegards,Radek

  • SQL Server Replication: Sybase as publisher and SQL Server as Subscriber possible or not?

    Hi,
    Using SQL Server Replication, data pulling from Sybase to SQL Server is possible or not?
    --sybase has publisher and sql has subscriber
    Thanks  

    Hello,
    Just as Hilary post, you should backup the following database and restore to the new server:
    1.The publication database at the Publisher
    2.The distribution database at the Distributor
    3.The subscription database at each Subscriber
    4.The master and msdb system databases at the Publisher, Distributor and all Subscribers
    After restoring the publication database from a backup, you reinitialize all subscriptions to the publications.
