SQL Server Licensing

Hi Guys,

Can someone explain to me how does SQL Server licensing works?

I will be installing SQL Server Interprise in a VM with 8 cores, no hyper threading and the hyper threading is enabled on the physical machine.

Thanks

Transferring SQL Client Access Licenses from primary server to secondary server.

1. If we go with SQL Server + CAL base licensing . can we transfer SQL CALs from my primary server to secondary when my primary server fails or down ?
   
2. If we go for SQL Server + CAL base licensing what all SQL CAL licenses need to be installed(need to buy) on primary and Secondary server. ?
3. If we go for SQL Server Core Base licensing what all SQL licenses need to be installed(need to buy) on primary and Secondary server ?
4. can we use SQL core base license as a primary and SQL CAL base license as secondary or vice versa ?
