I have found this:

I have found this:
- SQL Server Standard 2017 allows high availability through the feature called AlwaysOn.
- AlwaysOn allows customers to have an active / passive instances meaning that SQL Server can have a secondary (cold installation), to recover data from in case of a disaster or hardware failure on the primary server.
- The licensing of AlwaysOn scenario requires a SQL Server license on the primary server and a Software Assurance coverage to be able to install a passive instance on the secondary server.
- AlwaysOn feature on SQL Server Standard is limited to 2 nodes (active/passive instances)
However It seems tthat software assurance is not avaible for OEM licensing? So am I out of look?
