Thank you for your reply,

But you have many more options, e.g. Do you plan to install the SQL Server on the hardware directly or in some virtual environment?
install directly on the hardware

Do you plan to use all 4 servers for active data access or some of them are planned for mirroring, replication or high availability?
high availability

Thanks

OK, to use HA with one passive instance you don't need licenses for the passive instance. The active instance must be licensed with SA which is more expensive than w/o SA but still cheaper than licenses for all cores. HA with all instances active requires licenses for all cores.
