Excerpt
For each of its Primary Workloads, Customer is entitled to: One Fail-over OSE for any purpose, including high availability, on any Server (subject to the Outsourcing Software Management clause); and Two Fail-over OSEs specifically for disaster recovery purposes: one on any Server (subject to the Outsourcing Software Management clause) and one on Microsoft Azure servers, subject to Ratio of Qualified Licenses to Azure vCores as stipulated in the Azure Hybrid Benefit terms for SQL Server. Fail-over OSEs may not serve SQL Server data to users or devices or otherwise run active SQL Server workloads. The number of licenses that otherwise would be required for a Fail-over OSE must not exceed the number of licenses required for the corresponding Primary Workload. These fail-over rights require SA for both the Licensed Server and CALs, if any, and do not apply when Customer deploys SQL Software under License Mobility through SA.
