Hi all, 

we purchased two SQL Server Standard 2022 2 Core Perpetual licenses. We want install the SQL Server in a virutal environment. Afterwards we noticed that you need an active Softwareassurance or CSP Subscrption Licenses to have the right to use the SQL in a virtual Environment. 

As far as i know, those regulations were introduced with the Version 2022. The SQL Server Version 2019 doesn´t have any of this regulations. 

If i downgrade my purchased  SQL Server 2022 license to a SQL Server 2019 license is it possible to circumvent the regulations? And also install a SQL Server 2019. 

Thanks in Advance.
