With SQL Server 2016, Microsoft is taking the next step toward transforming its SQL server solution into a modern platform for aggregating and analyzing data—the term “Big Data” comes to mind.
Compared to previous versions, the main focus has been on speed. Data sets can now be processed directly in SQL, machine learning models are integrated without the need for recompilation, and database columns are available more quickly thanks to caching in RAM.
Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 includes features such as Query Store, which simplifies SQL upgrades; Always Encrypted, which ensures data security during transfer; and support for JSON, Hadoop (via Polybase), and the statistical analysis tool R.
The Standard version is recommended if you’re looking for a solution for up to 24 cores or 4 processors. We’ll license your business at the best price —used and legally compliant.

Legal Information – Legally Compliant Used Software
Used SQL Server 2016 Licenses with Documentation
SQL Server 2016 licenses, as offered by Software ReUse, are considered “exhausted” software in the legal sense. After verifying the software and ensuring the licenses have been transferred in compliance with the law, we are permitted to sell the software. As the buyer, you have the same rights as you would with new software. This saves you up to 75% compared to the original price.
We purchase the licenses we offer from other companies that either no longer need them or are switching to different software. These are often what are known as volume licenses. Under this licensing model, the software is licensed for use on multiple workstations or computers. As a buyer, you won’t have to make any compromises with used SQL Server 2016 licenses compared to new ones, and you’re entitled to regular security updates and support. If you’re interested, learn more about all the facts regarding used software.
Proof of exhaustion
With Software ReUse, along with the product key for the discontinued software, you will receive detailed documentation outlining the terms of use for the software. We provide you with all the information you need to prove exhaustion of rights, even in the event of an audit by the software manufacturer. This includes details about the previous owner and their declaration of cancellation.
We document how the software was originally placed on the market, what remuneration the rights holder received for it, to what extent a right of use was granted by the rights holder, and whether updates are included. Our software therefore not only meets the requirements of the European Court of Justice (Case C-128/11), but also complies with the conditions established by the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH).
