Save Up to 36 % on Microsoft SQL Server Licenses

Kentico CMS can be used with free Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Edition. Still, if you plan to run a large web site, you may need a paid edition of Microsoft SQL Server (compare the editions).
 
As a Microsoft Certified Partner, we can sell Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Runtime licenses with Kentico CMS. This license can be used only with Kentico CMS, so you cannot use it for any other application. It’s sold for a special price.
     
 
Microsoft SQL Server Runtime
SQL Server Edition License type Full Use Retail Price Runtime License Price
Workgroup per CPU, unlimited clients $3899 $2999
Standard per CPU, unlimited clients $5999 $4499
Enterprise per CPU, unlimited clients $24999 $15999
 
     

You can compare the editions here.

As you can see, the Runtime license price is cheaper than the full use price, but you cannot use the Runtime license for any other application, only for Kentico CMS.
 
Note 1: All SQL Server licenses are “per processor”. If you have a multi-processor server, you need to get a license for each processor.

Note 2: SQL Server license considers the number of physical sockets/CPUs, regardless of the number of cores on the processor. You can find more informations here.
 
Note 3: Customers from the European Union will be charged with 19% VAT if they are not registered for VAT.

Customers located in the Czech Republic are always charged with VAT.
