Dear Support,

  1. How the step to return the license server 2019 which is already activated?
  2. Is it possible if we use license SQL server 2019 for SQL server 2017?

Thank you,

    This is a technical forum, and license questions are not technical, but legal.

    I believe that it is indeed possible to use a license for a newer version with an older version of SQL Server, but for an authoritative answer, you need to talk to a Microsoft representative. If you don't have one locally, you can call (1-800-426-9400), Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM PST to speak directly to Microsoft licensing specialist.
