How to find SQL License type
23 April,2014 by Tom Collins
Question: I’m looking for a method to check the license type in Microsoft SQL 2012. Can you show me how to find the SQL Server license type via SQL Server?
Answer: Since SQL Server 2012 , you can find this information in the SQL Server Error Logs.
Before SQL Server 2008 R2 there used to be some properties maintained but is now unused
Mode of this instance of SQL Server.
PER_SEAT = Per Seat mode
PER_PROCESSOR = Per-processor mode
DISABLED = Licensing is disabled.
In SQL Server 2012 , a check on the SQL Server error logs will report on information required
exec xp_readerrorlog 0 ,1 , N'Edition' Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64) Oct 19 2012 13:38:57 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor)
