Hello,

What will happen if we have a SQL server 2015 version with 5 user CALs, but now we want to add more CAL license.
Can we buy this SQL Server 2019 – 1 User CAL?

Regards,
Joven P.

    Hello,

    Welcome to Q&A!

    The tag sql-server-general indicates that this is a zone for discussing SQL Server issues (more on technical issues). For SQL server license issue, please call 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. Or you can go to Volume Licensing Service Center support. Please choose region/language and choose to call or have web. People there will help you more effectively.

    In addition, there is no version of SQL Server 2015(...,2014, 2016, 2017, 2019).
