    Hi

    No, you need to license each VM or Core where SQL is running. Even for Always On Availability Groups licensing, when secondary replicas are actively used to support high availability, disaster recovery, and read-scale balancing, they must be fully licensed accordingly.

    Please read the Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Licensing guide for more details. https://download.microsoft.com/download/6/6/0/66078040-86d8-4f6e-b0c5-e9919bbcb537/SQL%20Server%202019%20Licensing%20guide.pdf

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks
