About the SQL Server License Terms

The [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Software License Terms are copied to the local computer when [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] is installed. When multiple instances of the same edition and language of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] are installed on the same computer, a single copy of the license terms will apply to all instances of that edition and language. The files are written to: %ProgramFiles%\[!INCLUDEmsCoName][!INCLUDEssNoVersion]\120\License Terms\ or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\ [!INCLUDEmsCoName][!INCLUDEssNoVersion]\120\License Terms\.

When multiple instances of the same [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] edition and language are installed on the same computer, a single copy of the license terms will apply to all instances of that edition and language.

The license terms file name indicates the edition of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] as well as the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] language edition that is installed. The License terms file name is in the format: SQLServer2014_License_Edition_<TYPE>_<LCID>.rtf. For example:

  • SQLServer2014_License_DEV_1033.rtf for [!INCLUDEssSQL14] Developer, English language edition.

  • SQLServer2014_License_EXPR_1033.rtf for [!INCLUDEssSQL14] Express, English language edition.

TYPE indicates the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] edition. The following file name segments are used to identify [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] editions:

  • ENT - Enterprise Edition: Server/Client Access License (CAL) Licensing

  • ENTCORE - Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing

  • BI - Business Intelligence

  • DEV - Developer

  • STD - Standard

  • WEB - Web

  • EXPR - Express

LCID is a number, which refers to the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] language locale ID. The following file name segments are used to identify the corresponding [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] languages:

[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Language Abbreviation for [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Language LCID
English ENU 1033
Japanese JPN 1041
French FRA 1036
Italian ITA 1040
Korean KOR 1042
German DEU 1031
