Retiring a server w/sql 2008 r2. New will have sql 2017. MS tells me the cals in the 2008 sql are "not compatible", even if I buy the 2017 edition that uses cals rather than cores. They're just licenses for Pete's sake. Seems like straight up "we just want more money". makes as much sense as saying if I buy a new car I'd have to abandon my driveway and build a new one. Anybody know of any real reason other than just to get more money?
