A lot of times people believe that they just license the SQL database, but there are actually seven things that you need to license in SQL. You can see analysis servers, reporting services, integration services, the master data services and the machine learning services. If I have any of those installed, it's licensable. Now if analysis server is on the same server as the database engine, no issues, right? What ends up where it gets and people end up getting caught is where they take reporting services and put it on a separate, in separate OSE operating system environment from the database might be on the same physical host but they put it in a separate operating system environment and then that becomes licensable and they don't even know how to, how to account for this thing and go and find these things and, and that sort of stuff. And this is a big area that people get hit and audits all the time is these are license of bulk components.
