Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise 2025 - Perpetual License

Microsoft SQL Server is the relational database management system developed by Microsoft, used to store, query and protect business data on Windows servers. The Enterprise edition is the top SQL Server edition, meant for large and business-critical databases: it is not bound to the core and memory limits of the Standard edition and adds advanced high-availability features. What you buy is a product key for the SQL Server version and edition shown in the title, entered during setup. Client access licences (CALs) are not stated as included.

This product is a perpetual license key for Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise 2025: it does not expire and can be used on 1 server running Windows. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

A typical installation runs on a Windows server or workstation and hosts the databases of business applications such as accounting, ERP, CRM or custom software. Administrators manage it with SQL Server Management Studio, a free separate download, and schedule backups and maintenance with SQL Server Agent.

Key Features:

• Relational database engine: Stores data in tables and runs Transact-SQL queries, views, stored procedures, triggers and full-text search for business applications.
• Reporting and Integration Services: Reporting Services publishes reports in the browser, and Integration Services moves and transforms data between databases, files and other sources.
• Backup and recovery: Full, differential and transaction log backups, with backup compression and point-in-time restore of a database.
• Always On availability groups: The Enterprise edition keeps databases available with Always On availability groups, readable secondary replicas and failover clusters with more than two nodes.
• SQL Server Agent: Schedules jobs such as backups, index maintenance and data imports and sends alerts when something goes wrong.
