We are looking to introduce Windows Server Standard and SQL Server Standard.

I will be installing it on a 20core server.

This is a role that temporarily aggregates data from another server and sends it to another server.

In this case, should we use SQL Server/CAL.

Should I purchase CALs for the number of servers and developers involved?

Or should I purchase it for the total number of members?

Also, if we downsize SQL Server to 10 core via Hyper-V and purchase it as a core license, what are the required licenses?
