Pawan, that's the licensing model for SQL Server 2012 and 2014.<br />
For SQL Server 2017 the licensing model is different and you can learn about it <a href="http://file:///C:/Users/vmontalvao/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe/TempState/Downloads/SQL_Server_2017_Licensing_Datasheet.pdf" rel="ugc">here</a>.
