My company has 6 instances of SQL Server 2012 Standard. These instances all run on VMware virtual machines. The licenses for SQL server came packaged with WonderWare products (WonderWare Historian for example). In addition to the SQL Server license, WonderWare sells SQL Server Client Access Licenses so clients can 'legally' access the database(s).
So, our virtual machines are licensed with a server license and our clients are licensed with a CAL. Now, none of the SQL licenses that came with the WonderWare products we're using are covered by SA; They simply do not offer this option (or at least, they haven't offered it to us in any case).
We use VMware and have enabled features like DRS and HA. These features will automatically migrate a running virtual machine from one physical host to another. Microsoft states that you can assign a SQL Server licensed to another 'server' but only after a period of 90 days.
Does migrating a virtual machine (or virtual operating system environment) from one physical host to another qualify as moving a license from one server to another? In other words, am I violating the terms of my license agreement by using DRS and HA?
