Ok, please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
We are planning to redesign our network to two identical servers setup in a Failover Cluster.
The main server will be running Hyper-V with 3 SharePoint Servers (App, Search, WFE) and SQL Server 2014. If this server fails, the clustered would take over.
My question is do I need to purchase 3 SharePoint Licenses or 6? Same with SQL. If I have 4 cores associated with the SQL VM, do I need 2 or 4 licenses (each license I understand is for 2 cores)
My thinking is like office, that you can install one copy on your desktop and one on your laptop since you do not use both at the same time.
Thanks.
