We have one prod server with SQL Server enterprise edition. we would like to
setup dr site server with a prod database replicating data to dr site (not to
use logshipping). the dr site is used only in case of disaster and primary
prod server is unavailable. do we need additional license for dr site
server. or will it come under passive server as mentioned in microsoft's
sqlserver licensing

thanks

I don't think replication servers qualify as passive, since they are
available to be used.

Passive nodes in a cluster do, and I think standby in log shipping does.

My personal opinion is that replication is a poor choice for DR...not really
what it was designed for.
