MS SQL used to be per socket pricing. With 2012 they switched to per core. That was a sad day.

- e12e 10y agoDoes anyone happen to know how MS actually charges per core these days? I found: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/learn-more/brief-licensing-by-cores.aspx https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Licensing/learn-more/brief-l... which points to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=229882 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=229882 -- taken together, it looks like AMD hex-core+cpus count at .75 cores, single-core cpus count as 4, and dual-cores count as 2. Given that you need to buy 2-packs, it appears you can get a single 2-pack for a single dual-core (hyper-treading appears to be ignored), 2 packs for a single single-core cpu, or 3 two-packs for 8 AMD cpus?
