Licenses are purchased based on number of Cores. In the case of General Purpose you are using 2 vCores (GP5) and for Business Critical(BC5) you are using 28 vCores.

This hybrid benefit calculator can help you. If I understand it correctly, you would need to have:

  • 2 Standard SQL licenses to cover a 2 vCore GP5 DB and, enter image description here

  • either 28 Enterprise SQL licenses or 112 Standard SQL licenses to cover the 28 vCores of the BC5. enter image description here

    enter image description here

You can also download and checkout the licensing datasheet and licensing guide. See this link for more info.

  • Having MSSQL server configuration below: General Purpose: Gen5, 2 vCore, Business Critical: Gen5, 16 vCores, Business Critical: Gen5, 4 vCore, Business Critical: Gen5, 8 vCores for the sql servers, for these configuration we have multiple MSSQL servers configured, so for these configuration can you suggest pls, is for each Vcore we need 1 license each so for 4 vcore, 4 license is it – luck_26 Apr 21 '22 at 18:10
  • Its different between GP and BC. For GP 1 Core License per 4 vCores. For BC 1 Core License per 1 vCore. – David Browne - Microsoft Apr 21 '22 at 18:16
