Hi,

We need to upgrade from SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition to SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition. Do we need to purchase a new license for SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition ?

Will the existing SQL license on SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition work ?

    Hi GAURAV SRIVASTAVA,

    If you are covered under Software Assurance, upgrades are included in your licensing. Otherwise, you will need to speak to a licensing vendor if you want to get some sort of upgrade pricing.

    Licenses & product for installation are bound to the product version, so you need both new.
