I am planning to implement SQL Server 2014 Always ON Availability Groups between 2 nodes(servers) and using SQL server Enterprise edition on top of WSFC, Node1 is primary replica(read/Write) and Node2 is secondary replica and databases are Restoring mode only and will not use or read/write data until disaster (failover)happens
as per documentation , SQL server Agent should run on both servers at anytime but only Primary Replica's jobs executes at anytime using Some checks.
Question1:
do i have to pay for both licences node1 and node2?
Note: node1 will be primary and node 2 is secondary and only when failover happens node 2 will become active but i will have sql agent running on both nodes at any given time ...
Question2:
do i have to pay for both licences node1 and node2?
If i disable SQL Agent on Node2 and manually enable the SQL Agent when failover happens on node2?
