Microsoft 228-04778 SQL Server Standard Edition 1 Server software application license

Server license for Microsoft SQL Standard

This product is a Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition license covering one server. It is intended for organisations that need a relational database platform for departmental or small-enterprise workloads. The license is delivered through the Microsoft Open Value programme and includes Software Assurance for three years starting in the first acquired year. Buyers who require multi-server licensing or enterprise-grade features should evaluate other editions.

Volume licensing with Software Assurance

The agreement provides license rights and Software Assurance benefits for a three-year term without recurring subscription fees during that period. There are no hardware components, so thermals, noise and power draw are not applicable to this software entitlement. Ongoing compliance depends on maintaining the Open Value agreement and renewing Software Assurance when the term ends.

Digital entitlement tied to a tenant ID

Activation requires a valid Microsoft tenant ID, which must be supplied to the vendor before the order can be processed. The vendor typically responds within one to two business days to complete the provisioning. Organisations without an existing Azure Active Directory tenant will need to create one before purchasing this license.
