- Statement
- PT-SQL: For each Primary Workload, Customer is entitled to one Fail-over OSE for any purpose including high availability on any Server (subject to Outsourcing Software Management); plus two disaster-recovery Fail-over OSEs — one on any Server and one on Microsoft Azure servers (AHB vCore ratio). “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 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.”

- Applies to
