## Licensing rules that matter

- SQL Server comes in two licensing models: per-core (2-core packs, 4-core minimum per server, no CALs needed) or Server + CAL.
- Enterprise edition is per-core only. Passive failover rights and virtualization change the math quickly.
- Tell us your core counts and HA design in the quote request — we validate the licensing before you commit.

## How to buy

Quote-only: request via the contact form (https://o365hq.com/contact) or the MCP build_quote tool. A human verifies core/CAL math and segment eligibility before anything is ordered — software orders are far less reversible than seat subscriptions. Nonprofit/education prices require Microsoft eligibility on the tenant. Book the founder directly: https://o365hq.com/book
