Скачать или смотреть SQL Server Passive Licensing Rule You Shouldn’t Miss

If you’re deploying a SQL Server with a passive replica for high availability, licensing depends entirely on what kind of licenses you have. With Software Assurance, passive replicas are free. Without it, you need to license the passive instance separately.

For service providers using SPLA, the passive replica benefit applies too.

Don’t assume high availability means zero cost. Always check your entitlement before deployment.
