Used licenses for Microsoft SQL Server 2019 - legal, affordable, audit-proof

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 is a modern, powerful relational database management system that helps companies of all sizes analyze their business data and make better fact-based decisions. If you decide to use Microsoft SQL Server 2019, you must purchase a valid license for your version. You can buy this cheaply and securely second-hand from Soft & Cloud.

Features of Microsoft SQL Server 2019 at a glance

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 is a relational database management system that was developed for managing, storing and analyzing very large volumes of data. The data is stored in tables and linked via relationships between the tables. This makes it possible to efficiently store and analyze almost any amount of data.

With Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Express, Microsoft offers a completely free version that is ideal for desktop, web and small server applications and enables users to gain their first experience with relational database systems. Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Express can be downloaded directly from Microsoft.

The Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Developer program is also available as a free download; this is a development and test database that can be used in a non-production environment. You can start the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition download via Offline Installer and use it free of charge.

After downloading the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard ISO, however, you must purchase licenses by the end of the evaluation period at the latest and be able to prove this during an audit. You have two licensing options to choose from: You can purchase a server license and additional access licenses (CAL), or you can license the server software by processor cores (2Core license), in which case you do not need any additional CALs.

What is the difference between a used Microsoft SQL Server 2019 license and buying a new license?

The only difference is the price you have to pay for a license. At Soft & Cloud, you only receive used original licenses from Microsoft, which means that you also benefit from the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Support End Date, whose extended end date is at the beginning of 2030. Until then, even as a buyer of used licenses, you will always be able to download and install every Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Cumulative Update. This means you can be sure that you are always using the best and most secure version of the software to protect your data from the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 15.00.2000.00 exploit and similar.

Microsoft SQL Server 2019 in comparison

Apart from the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition and Express Edition, both of which only offer a limited range of functions compared to the full version, you can purchase Microsoft SQL Server 2019 in two editions:

The Standard Edition provides a basic BI and data management database and enables effective management with minimal IT resources. Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard is sufficient for small and medium-sized companies and can be expanded and increased in functionality via interfaces and tools. The Standard edition is suitable for companies that are collecting and analyzing data for the first time and can or want to make a manageable technical effort to do so.

The SQL Server Enterprise Edition is the premium solution with high-end functions for data centers, which offers extremely high speed and can be virtualized indefinitely, for example for end-to-end BI applications. It is therefore suitable for large companies with various databases that need to be brought together on a high-performance platform and analyzed and processed using state-of-the-art tools.

Buy used Microsoft SQL Server 2019 and reduce IT costs

High efficiency and performance, numerous functions, interfaces and tools and, last but not least, a broad user base make Microsoft SQL Server 2019 an optimal BI and data analysis solution for companies of all sizes.

Whether as a standard or particularly powerful enterprise edition, Microsoft SQL Server 2019 is a mature, powerful and flexible database solution that you can use securely in the long term thanks to the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 EOL, which will not be reached until 2030. We only sell original licenses from Microsoft, which we acquire used from former buyers and pass on absolutely securely in a TÜVIT-certified process.

In addition to used server licenses, we also offer suitable Microsoft SQL Server 2019 CALs, which you need for the Standard Edition in addition to the server license. You have the choice of purchasing CALs for users (User CAL) or devices (Device CAL). If you have any questions about the correct licensing, please do not hesitate to contact us for advice in advance.

If you want to install or virtualize the software on modern dual- or multi-core servers, you need a sufficient number of 2Core licenses, which you can also buy used from Soft & Cloud - legally and at a fraction of the cost of a new license directly from Microsoft.
