# ITAM - Software: SQL Server

![](https://support.block64.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-11-2026-07-35-38-0010-PM.png?width=670&height=567&name=image-png-Nov-11-2026-07-35-38-0010-PM.png)

The SQL Server report provides visibility into Microsoft SQL Server deployments across your environment, helping organizations understand SQL Server versions, editions, service packs, and infrastructure footprint. This report supports SQL Server lifecycle management, licensing assessments, upgrade planning, and identification of legacy or unsupported database platforms.

### SQL Server Distribution

The SQL Server Distribution visualization provides a breakdown of discovered SQL Server instances by edition and version.

Instances are grouped by:

- **Edition** (Enterprise, Standard, Express, etc.)
- **SQL Server Version**
- **Service Pack Level**

This view helps administrators quickly understand:

- Which SQL Server editions are most heavily deployed.
- The distribution of SQL Server versions across the environment.
- The presence of older SQL Server releases that may require modernization.
- Opportunities to standardize database platforms and reduce operational complexity.

The size of each section represents the relative number of SQL Server instances discovered for that version and edition and hovering over them shows the count.

#### **All SQL Server**

The All SQL Server table provides a detailed inventory of SQL Server instances discovered throughout the environment.

### Key Metrics

**Server**  
The server hosting the SQL Server instance.

**Instance**  
The SQL Server instance name detected on the device.

**Product Name**  
The SQL Server product version installed.

**Service Pack**  
The installed service pack level for the SQL Server instance.

**Edition**  
The SQL Server edition assigned to the instance, such as Enterprise, Standard, or Express.

**Version**  
The exact SQL Server build number identified during discovery.

**Cores**  
The number of processor cores associated with the SQL Server installation.

This information provides the foundation for licensing reviews, capacity planning, and version management activities.

Users can filter and sort SQL Server inventory data to focus on specific versions, editions, servers, or service pack levels.

The **CSV Export** option allows SQL Server inventory data to be exported for further analysis, infrastructure reviews, licensing reconciliation, audit preparation, and reporting.

Key Benefits

The SQL Server report enables organizations to:

- Maintain a centralized inventory of SQL Server deployments.
- Identify outdated or unsupported SQL Server versions.
- Understand SQL Server edition distribution across the environment.
- Support Microsoft SQL Server licensing reviews.
- Assist with upgrade and migration planning initiatives.
- Improve visibility into SQL Server infrastructure and resource utilization.
- Reduce compliance and operational risk associated with legacy database platforms.

By consolidating SQL Server version, edition, and infrastructure data into a single view, this report helps IT and Software Asset Management teams make informed decisions regarding database licensing, supportability, and modernization efforts.
