==================== License Management ==================== *************** Introduction *************** The License Management in Myaccount portal is a simple and intuitive web-based user interface for managing and buying RDP, MS SQL license for your Node as per your requirement. Buying a license means that you designate that license for one node. The designation avoids sharing a license across more than one node. For example, after you have assigned a license to a node, you are permitted to run that licensed software on that node. Refer below a detailed description of application/software licenses available for your node. .. csv-table:: :file: tables/License.csv :widths: 30, 70 :header-rows: 1 **Physical Machine** When running MS SQL Server in a physical OSE, all physical cores on the server must be licensed. A minimum of four core licenses is required for each physical processor on the server. **Calculate the Licenses on Physical Machines.** * Count the total number of physical cores in the server. * Since the Per 2 Core licenses used in SPLA (Microsoft Services Provider License Agreement), you must divide the number of the available cores on the physical machine by two to determine the actual number of licenses required on the machine. .. Note:: The use of hyper-threading technology does not affect the number of licenses required when running SQL Server software in a physical OSE Logic. **Example:** Let's say you have a physical server with a single Processor. .. csv-table:: :file: tables/table1.csv :widths: 20,20,20,20,20 :header-rows: 1 **Example:** Let’s say you have a physical server with two processors. .. csv-table:: :file: tables/table2.csv :widths: 20,20,20,20,20 :header-rows: 1 **Virtual Machine** Licenses Calculation Logic: When running MS SQL server in virtual OSEs, all the virtual core (or virtual processor, virtual CPU, virtual thread) allocated to the VM must be licensed. A minimum of four core licenses is required for each VM. **Calculate the Licenses on Virtual Machines.** * Count the total number of virtual cores available in a virtual machine. * Since the Per 2 Core licenses used in SPLA, so you must divide the number of the available virtual core on the virtual machine by two to determine the actual number of licenses required on the virtual machine. Example: Let's say you have 2 or more virtual cores on the virtual machine. .. csv-table:: :file: tables/table3.csv :widths: 20,20,20,20,20 :header-rows: 1 `You can refer to the microsoft official document. `_ *********** Buy License *********** This tutorial will show you how to buy and manage license for Myaccount - Go to My Account and log in using your credentials set up at the time of creating and activating the My Account. - On the left Navigation bar, Select License management available under the service section. .. image:: images/LicenseManagement1.png - You will redirect to the Manage License page. - Click on the ‘+ Buy New License’. .. image:: images/LicenseManagement2.png - Select the license type you want to buy.
