Hello together,

I hope you can help me.
I plan for a project to buy a SQL Server 2019 Standard License and install it in a 2 core VM in a active-passice cluster.
Should I buy 2 x license (2 core per license) for SQL Server 2019 or 4 x license for SQL Server 2019 Standard ?
The information that I have to buy a license for 4 core (2x License SQL 2019)
But the customer want no SA.

How many License should I buy?

Many thanks in advance for your answer.
