- Definition
- Product Terms Software Assurance Benefits (Server pool): Under License Mobility Through Software Assurance (SA), Customer may move its licensed software to shared servers under any of its Licenses which are designated as having License Mobility for which it has SA. Not Windows Server OS (Windows Server is not in the PT-SA License Mobility per-product table).
- Commercial rules
- Permitted use includes running licensed software on shared servers. Requirements: deploy Licenses only with Microsoft Azure Services or a qualified License Mobility through Software Assurance Partner, and complete and submit the License Mobility verification form with each partner who will run the licensed software on their shared servers. Customer may move licensed software from shared servers back to its Licensed Servers or to another party’s shared servers, but not on a short term basis (not within 90 days of the last assignment). License Mobility through SA rights also apply to Listed Providers’ Servers dedicated to Customer’s use, subject to the same terms. Per-core products: each Core License with active SA coverage → one virtual core (subject to the product use rights including the requirement of a minimum of 4 cores per OSE). SQL Server Server/CAL: 1 OSE per Server License with SA. SQL fail-over under LM-through-SA: passive fail-over Instances in one OSE on the qualifying shared servers; licenses that would be required to run the passive Instances must not exceed those required to run the corresponding production Instances on the same partner’s shared servers.
