SQL Server 2022ライセンスについて

クラウド上で利用する場合、SA契約が必須の可能性があると一般サイト(≠MS公式サイト)で見ましたが、真意がわからなかったため、ご教授いただけますと幸いです。

①クラウド上でSQLServer2022を利用する場合、SA契約は必須でしょうか?

※申し訳ありませんが、これ以上の詳細環境については記載が難しいです。

以上、よろしくお願いいたします。

Hi @m-hiko,

Not always, but in most practical cloud or VM deployment scenarios (especially when bringing your own license, wanting flexibility, moving between servers, or licensing individual VMs), having Software Assurance (SA) or a subscription-equivalent license becomes effectively mandatory to stay compliant and keep cost efficiency.

If you use license-included SQL Server instances (for example, pay-as-you-go images from the cloud marketplace), then SA isn’t required. But if you plan to bring your own license (BYOL) to a shared cloud like AWS, Azure, or GCP, you usually need SA for License Mobility and other benefits.

If you can share which cloud provider and deployment type (VM, container, managed service, etc.) you’re using, we can check the exact requirement for your case.

Thanks,
Akhil.
