I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row with licensing for a new SQL Server 2014 environment I am building. What seems to have bit us in the past here was the inability to upgrade to newer versions because we don't have SA. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of how it worked but I could use some input from anyone who's gone through this.The SA has been included in the licensing cost we are purchasing. My question is is there an additional yearly cost to maintain it and how long is the coverage good for? My impression is that it was a one time cost and good for the life of the servers. Also if it helps theses are physical environments and Enterprise editions, I don't think that matters for my question though.Thank you in advance,Ken
