How ToChanging License Mode From Per Server To Per Seat??
Jun 14, 2000
Hi,
I have a SQL server installed in per server license mode... I am getting some error saying
"THE MAXIMUM SIMULTANEIOUS USER COUNT OF 1 LICENSE FOR THIS STANDARD EDITION SERVER HAS BEEN EXCEEDED. ADDITIONAL LICENSE SHOULD BE OBTAINED AND INSTALLED OR YOU SHOULD UPGRADE TO A FULL VERSION""
can someone tell me how to go from per server to per seat....
We have an active database that sits on SQL Server 2000 that currently has per seat license...but now want to switch to per processor. If I go to ControlSQL Server 2000 License Set up...it doe not give me the option to choose per processor.
Do I need to un-install/re-install SQL Server 2000 and choose the per processor choice and then re-attach our database ?
ASP applications accessing VB dll , where the VB dll, IIS & SQLServer 2000 are at the same the machine -> Processor License Mode required for SQLServer 2000 ?!?
I want to change from cal user license to processor license in sql 2005. How do I do this? Do I need to reinstall sql? Assuming I need to reinstall, will my settings be gone?
I have a VERY Legitmate use to install sql 4 workgroups on a pc without licensing it. I am making a disk image for MANY pcs to be imaged and load licensing after the imaging is completed.
I have been able to do this with Windows XP Professional, MS Office 2003 and a couple non-Ms programs. The information for MS software even came from their KB, so I know what I am doing is legit. I just can't find any information on doing this for my sql app.
In order to use Replication, sql server installation must use per seat licensing. What if I have per server licensing, how can I change the licensing to per seat so I can use replication Ahmed
Is this change possible without re-installing SQL 7.0? if so, how? The install was completed by a network guy who thought he knew enough about SQL and now I have to fix it, but all I know is that we use the per server mode in our company. Help Please!!!
We have reports in SharePoint integrated mode which are really slow when compared to native mode. I have been asked to research and give info on what exactly causes the delays.
Any articles which give me information as to what happens when a report is run from SharePoint server and where does it log.
Recently I read such statments 'When SQL Server is run in "lightweight pooling" mode (fiber mode) and the DTC service is started, unexpected behavior may occur.' Can someone say anything about fibe mode?I am appreciated for it.:)
I have installed SQL7 standard edition on a server and the desktop version on an NT workstation PC. When I try to DTS between them, I get an error with regard to needing per seat licenses. I installed SQL7 from ‘BackOffice Test Platform’ CD (we are a MS Solution Provider), but there was no option for ‘seats’. What am I missing? Is there another SQL7 CD?
If I install an instance of SQL Server on a box with 4 processors but specify in the licensing part of the installation procedure that it's a '2 processor license', does that really mean that SQL Server will only use 2 of the 4 processors? I ask because, having done this, if I check the SQL Server instance's properties, on the Processors tab, there are 4 processors ticked - giving the impression that 4 processors are being used by this SQL Server instance. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Another question... If I wish to reconfigure the same SQL Server instance from a 2 to a 4 processor 'per processor' license, how can this be done?
Hi all,I am performing a consolidation of all SQL servers in my environment. Ihave run the tool to find out what level patching they have and whatedition they are running on, but is there a tool so I can scan thenetwork and find out what licensing they are setup for (processor vs.seat)?Even if I have to enumerate each one, one at a time I would be OK withthat. I just don't want to have to login to each server and go toControl Panel and click on the Licensing.Command line is super-duper.Thanks,Josh

Today many applications (SAP, SIEBEL, MANUGISTICS, PEOPLESOFT, and soon) does not have a client direct access to connect to the database.They use an Application Server that has only one connection to thedatabase and the users get connected to this application server.THE QUESTION: How to control SQL Server User License in this new model,automatically?You cannot enable SQL Server Audit because users are not connecteddirectly to the database.You cannot use Identity Management applications because they do notwork on NOT Enterprise Business software.How to do that if you have hundred of applications and database?Regards,Marcio
We have a .NET Remoting application whose "server instance" connects to SQL Server Express and send data via remoting to its client application. There is no need for other direct access to SQL Server except for the "server instance". Now my software vender advices us to upgrade to SQL Server WorkGroup edition and now we are facing the question which license to buy. Could you advice us?
Do I need a license to use the SQL Server Express in a production environment ?? I thought I needed an existing SQL Server license such as SQL 7 ?? Please let me know. :)
I'm setting up SQL Server 2005 Replication. I have purchase a processor license for SQL Server 2005. Do I need a Windows CAL for each device that will be accessing the replication via IIS?
I'm a .net developer creating applications that depends on SQL Server as a back end database engine.
I read about the features and pricing options of the different SQL Server 2005 editions here, I also read the SQL Server 2005 express EULA and knew that it's now alright to use it in commercial applications.
I use the SQL Server express engine only for the purpose of development and testing, is this use is lawful?
And if the answer is yes, what's the need for the "Developer Edition" mentioned in the page referenced above?
We have installed the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise trail version for 180 days.

Could someone please advise. Would be happy to submit further details if required
How do we determine on a SQL 2005 server what license type was selected during the install? Where is the informationkept and how it is tracked by SQL Server 2005.

I have one cluster (two machines) of sql server 2005 active/passive called "ClustA" with one Ent. server edition license and another separate server called "STDA" as warm standby server for "ClustA".
I'm trying to open an SDF file. After many searches on the net, it appears that there are two ways to do this:
Open the file in VS 2005 Open the file in SQL Server Management StudioI don't have, and don't plan to purchase, a license to full SQL Server 2005. I do have Visual Studio 2005 Pro. When I open an SDF file in Visual Studio, I get the following (oh so informative) error:
The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error
Since I don't have full SQL server, I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express. There's one major problem: the Server type combo box is disabled in the "Connect to Server" dialog. Try as I might, I can find no mention anywhere as to why this is the case. I'm guessing that functionality isn't supported in the Express version of the tool, but as far as I can tell, nobody thinks it might perhaps be reasonable to document why this combo box is disabled. It certainly doesn't show up in the document that shows up when I click the help button on this dialog.
Could somebody at Microsoft please tell me if it is even possible to edit these files without buying a full SQL Server license? I'm trying to use SQL Server Compact Edition to replace legacy code that uses an MDB file (via ADO) for a desktop application. From everything I have read, this is the officially recommended thing to do. But if I now have to buy a full SQL Server lincense to accomplish what used to be a simple double click on an MDB file, then there's something seriously wrong.
