Can anyone point me to the AppFabric licensing info?
Windows Server AppFabric is free, so there's no licensing 'cost' involved - it's treated as an add-on to Windows/the .NET framework. The Azure AppFabric SDK does come with a license which states what you can redistribute, but the licence screen in the Windows Server AppFabric installer refers you to the Windows licence.

However, while AppFabric has no cost implications in and of itself, if you want to use the high availability features in an AppFabric cache, all cache hosts must be running Windows Server Enterprise Edition. There are more details on this here (para. 3), this also refers you to the installation guide (although having just read through the installation guide again I couldn't see this restriction mentioned anywhere).

We are having a Virtual Machine in AWS EC2 Instance type of t2.large (Windows Server 2019). Then we installed the SQL Server 2014 Evaluation edition 5 months before and used it for our web application hosted in IIS inside the VM.
Since it's going to end the evaluation period in the next 30 days, we are ready to buy the license for SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition. I have the following questions and everyone is providing different answers. So please someone provide the genuine answers.
After buying the license, can we install it in the VM as it is the same in our own windows server.
We are not using the RDS, it's just the EC2 windows instance vm only, so do we need to bring the Software Assurance.
Why we should not use our own license in the VM system. What's the reason behind that?
If we use that then will it affect the Compliance.
Please clarify.
AWS has "Bring-Your-Own-License" service which is made exactly for your case.
It seems that you do. Here they say:
Beginning October 1, 2019, on-premises licenses purchased without Software Assurance and mobility rights
can’t deployed with dedicated hosted cloud services offered by “Listed Providers.”
See https://aka.ms/outsourcerights as well
They say, you can save your money when using AMI with SQL because of flexible licensing, pricing etc. You should review the pricing, workloads and working schedule by yourself and decide what will be cheaper for you- to use AWS SQL AMI or to buy your own license from Microsoft and attach it to AWS.
AFAIK no. But you should discuss it with your Microsoft Partner from which you want to buy a license.

I was looking into connecting to my local SQL database on my computer with azure logic apps, and was reading about it when i suddenly noticed i needed something called "on-premises data gateway" to be installed.
So i looked at the System requirements and to my surprise the recommended requirements where:
8 Core CPU
8 GB Memory
64-bit version of Windows 2012 R2 (or later)
and minimum:
.NET 4.5 Framework
64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 (or later).
So i was thinking is there any other way for people who have a "normal" laptop computer to get this done or do i really have top have a mastodont of a computer to make this happen?
worth to mention here is i only want to be able to connect to a local SQL server for testing and training purposes.
As long as you meet the minimum requirements you should be good to go. The recommended requirements are for production configurations.

If I make a website using Microsoft Visual Studio Express, do I have to take any license or something in any sense?
I'm deploying to a server which has Microsoft SQL Server Express.
You need a license for Windows Server, but that is all. There is nothing else needed beyond that for IIS, ASP.Net, MVC, or Sql Server Express Edition.
Or, put another way, Microsoft gives you a license for all of those things that you can use in a commercial production environment.

Just a question...
For an instance, I want to develop a payroll system for a business, Is it legal to use SQL Server Express Edition?
Yes. YES. YES!!! Totally, absolutely FREE for anyone to use in development and production.
From the relevant Microsoft web site:
Easy to get. Free to use.
Available free for both development and deployment.
Quickly build and deploy your database solution.
Backup and restore with ease.
Available with a graphical management tool, reporting capabilities, full-text search, and spatial support.
Ideal for building Web sites and apps, small scale LOB solutions or for
redistribution with ISV applications.
As found on MSDN, you can use SQL Server Express Edition in production environment but you have to consider some technical limitations:
maximum of 1 processor, up to 4 cores allowed
maximum memory utilized (per instance of SQL Server Database Engine) 1GB
maximum relational Database size 10GB

My company purchased Visual Studio Pro 2008 last year, which had a 'free' copy of SQL Server Developer, which I have been using for development.
We are wanting to upgrade the copy of developer edition to enterprise (As we now want to use the server as a production server), and have purchased the licenses for this.
Now... Morally we're in the clear... However does this comply with MS licensing T&C's?
We have Developer installed how we want it, and don't really want to uninstall SQL Server Dev just to install SQL Server Ent. Is there a way to transfer the license key to our Enterprise key without having to reinstall?
Thanks,
JD
Upgrade from Developer to Enterprise is a supported upgrade path, so you can simply install the new bits on top of the existing ones (provided your Developer is still at RTM and haven't patched any SP or CU on it).
Whether the license you purchased covers the use of the developer edition for business purposes, it is not explicitly called out in the Licensing document and I can't answer that part.
Here is an msdn article that should help
