FAQs
How many licenses do I need?
For per instance tools, the number of licenses is equal to the number of instances you will be using the tool on.
For per user tools, the number of licenses is equal to the number of users/developers that will be using the tool.
What if I need the tool on more computers?
For per instance tools, no additional license is needed if you use the tool GUI on another machine to connect to an instance that's already licensed.
For per user tools, no additional license is needed, as additional computers (e.g. laptop, build machine etc.) are covered by licensing per user within reason.
How does licensing work in a virtualized environment?
The number of virtual machines isn't applicable, as licensing is based on the number of instances/users you have.
How do I license per instance tools on mirrored databases?
Each instance used in the mirrored environment requires a license.
How do I license per instance tools in clusters?
Each instance on an active node requires a license. Instances on the passive nodes don't require licensing.
