SQL Server 2017 Standard License

Buy a SQL Server 2017 Standard licence key for a single server — a one-time payment for lifetime use, with no subscription. The key is delivered digitally within 1–90 minutes on average, 100% genuine and invoiced. Standard edition supports 24 cores (or 4 sockets) and 128 GB of buffer-pool memory per instance, comfortably covering most production line-of-business workloads.

SQL Server 2017 Highlights

• Linux and container support: the first SQL Server that runs on RHEL, SUSE and Ubuntu as well as Docker.
• Graph database: node and edge tables for relationship-heavy data models.
• Python in Machine Learning Services: in-database analytics with Python alongside R.
• Adaptive query processing: the first generation of the intelligent query processing family.
• Faster setup and tempdb improvements: best-practice settings applied automatically at install time.

SQL Server 2014 · 2016 · 2017 · 2019 — Which One Fits You?

Note: where support has ended, the installation keeps working and your licence stays valid for life, but Microsoft no longer publishes security updates for that version. Buffer-pool memory is 128 GB in every Standard edition listed here; the core cap is the difference.

Who Is It For?

• Linux or container deployments — this is the earliest version that supports them
• Relationship-heavy data models that benefit from graph tables
• Teams running in-database Python analytics
• Installations that want a supported engine at a lower price than 2019

Standard Edition Capacity

SQL Server 2017 Standard supports 24 cores (or 4 sockets) of processor and 128 GB of buffer-pool memory per instance. This is more than enough for the vast majority of ERP, accounting, e-commerce and line-of-business databases. Very large workloads that need unlimited cores or memory are Enterprise territory — if you are not sure which you need, ask our WhatsApp support line.

System Requirements

• Operating system: Windows Server 2016 or later, or RHEL / SUSE / Ubuntu on Linux
• Processor: x64, 1.4 GHz or faster (2.0 GHz recommended)
• Memory: 1 GB minimum, 4 GB or more recommended
• Disk: 6 GB of free space
• .NET: .NET Framework 4.6.2

Support Status — An Honest Note

SQL Server 2017 receives security updates under extended support until 12 October 2027. Your licence remains valid for life after that date. For a longer support horizon, SQL Server 2019 Standard runs to 8 January 2030.

Licence Rules — Plain and Honest

• The key must be used within 1 day of delivery.
• Once activated it is valid for life — no subscription or renewal fees.
• The licence covers SQL Server on a single server.
• Client Access Licences (CALs) are a separate Microsoft product and are not included.
• 100% genuine, invoiced digital licence.
