- kmontrose 14y agoYou only pay for licenses over 4 OS and 2 SQL Server (or outright new ones) after graduating BizSpark. 2 SQL Servers (OS licenses are chump change by comparison) go a loooong way* too, as you're presumably scaling up rather than out. http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/about/Graduation.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/about/Graduation.aspx Through the grapevine I hear the "review" process (for more free licenses at graduation) is extraordinarily accommodating, though I'd guess if you're spinning up a box per customer or something insane you'd get denied. Lots of people get this wrong, I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't carved this correction into a mountain somewhere... *Stack Exchange is running 2 + failover ( http://blog.serverfault.com/2011/09/30/the-stack-exchange-architecture-2011-edition-episode-1/ http://blog.serverfault.com/2011/09/30/the-stack-exchange-ar... ), and was running on 1 not too terribly long ago.
