Hey B, I heard that we need to renew our SQL Server licenses. Do you have any experience with this?

Yeah, I've been handling our database licenses for a while now. What do you need help with?

I'm not sure how to decide which version of SQL Server to purchase. Do you have any recommendations?

Well, it depends on our needs. Do we need any advanced features like encryption or high availability?

I don't think so, we just need the basic functionalities for our development environment.

Then we can go for the standard edition. It should be sufficient for our purposes.

That sounds good. How many licenses do we need?

We need one license for each physical server or computer that runs SQL Server. How many servers do we have?

I think we have two servers.

In that case, we'll need two licenses for SQL Server standard edition.

Alright, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining it to me.

No problem, happy to help. Let me know if you have any more questions.
