    SQL Server Distribution Server Licensing

    I have two production SQL Servers and a separate server as a
    distributor (merge replication). The two production servers are
    licensed by device cals. Does the distribution server require the same
    cal licenses as the production ones or can I save on cals by assuming
    that only the agents will connect to this server?

      The MSSQL licensing FAQ is here:

      Microsoft SQL Server
      http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.asp#B
      Get the flexibility you need to use integrated solutions, apps, and innovations in technology with your data, wherever it lives—in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.


      But if that doesn't answer your question, you should probably ask Microsoft
      directly - people may have different understandings of what licences allow
      or not, so it's best to get a definite answer.
