    The cost for SQL Server licenses, whether through SPLA (Services Provider License Agreement) or as a perpetual license, can vary based on several factors, including the licensing model you choose and the number of cores you intend to license.

    For SQL Server Standard edition, the licensing is typically based on the number of cores. Each core license for SQL Server Standard is required for each core in the server. Since you have 76 cores, you would need to purchase 76 core licenses.

    1. SPLA Licensing: This is a subscription-based model where you pay for the licenses on a monthly basis. The exact cost can vary based on your agreement with Microsoft and the service provider.
    2. Perpetual Licensing: This involves a one-time purchase of licenses. The cost per core for SQL Server Standard can be found in the Microsoft licensing guide or through a Microsoft reseller.

    To get the specific cost for 76 cores, you would need to consult with a Microsoft licensing specialist or a reseller who can provide you with the current pricing based on your licensing model and any applicable discounts or agreements you may have.
