Hi,
I have downloaed microsoft's Best Practice Analyser for SQL Server 2000. I would like to recomend this tool in our organisation. Before that i want to confirm that is there any restrictions to use this tool or it is an free ware tool.
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.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi All ,
Im trying to use MS BPA for my SQL Server 2000 instance and getting the below error repeatedly.
Exception MyServer Error while executing the Best Practice Group. See the log file Test_dev-chen-pc006_0001_DEV-CHEN-PC006_sqlbpa.log. Error message: Execution log not found in the repository
It would be great if you anyone help me out to proceed using MS BPA and get the reports without any Exceptions.
Thanks in Advance,

hello,
I just completed my graduation and eventually i got a proposal from a company to develop a software for database management. I have some doubts about licensing the back-end database. My doubts are:
1. If I'm using Sql Server as the backend and the .sql file placed on the server where this .sql file will be accessed by about 20 clients, will the customer (company) have to purchase a license for the sql server? If yes, how this can be done? Does the company have to purchase a license for each client and server for accessing contents of the .sql file? Actually, there will be only 1 server and abt 20 clients.
2. Does the developer need to purchase a seperate license for distributing the .sql file?
3. Also, wat is the maximum capacity of an sql database size? I'm asking this because as per my requirements, the company will be using the database at a rate of 1GB per month. So, by end of a year, it will be 12 GB.
NOTE: No Sql Server Software will be installed on client machines.
In brief, my doubt is: Do we need license for reading and writting to .mdb or .sql file contents and do we need seperate license for distributing them?
Please, somebody can help me for the licensing information and also for the database size?
Thank you.
Hello.After searching Microsoft's website for hours and confusing myself morethan I was before I started...Can anyone explain to me what the current state of affairs is for SQL2000 licensing?In particular with a server that has multiple processors and multipleinstances of SQL Server 2000 running - for both Standard and EnterpriseEditions of SQL Server 2000.Please help!Regards,Taz

We have a product which uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with Per Seat licensing option. Going forward with a new release of the product, we intend to upgrade to SQL Server 2005. Till now our product was being used in non web based scenarios so the Per Seat licensing option helped our case. In the upcoming release which would use SQL Server 2005 we need to break off from the non web based scenario as the product would use SQL Server over internet.
So isn't it correct to go for the Processor based licensing instead of the Per seat licensing ?
If so then what would be the ideal manner to upgrade the license from Per Seat (in SQL Server 2000) license type to Processor based (in SQL Server 2005) license type ?
I have heard of Software Assurance providing assistance in version upgrades. Would it help in case I need to upgrade from one license type to another ? Or is it applicable only in case of upgrade where the license type is fixed ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Arun

I have read in Microsoft forums that you "can" install SQL 2005 as an instance on a SQL 2000 server (not clustered.)
My decade+ of experience tells me it would be a bad idea, I'd expect the next service pack to fail or some other un-expected result. This is for a high availability application where the vendor requires SQL2000, and our custom coders want to use some SQL2005 featuers.
Does anyone have experience with two instances of different versions in a high visibility production system?
Does anyone have some points I could use to argue against this other than me sounding paranoid.
Thanks!
If my client has a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license, can they use that license for a SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition installation?
thanks for any help...
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.
Any suggestions??

Hi There,
I need to pull data using input from one table in sql server 2005. I have to query against the sql server 2000 database and pull data into sql server 2005. I have a list of ids that I have to pass to a query to get the desired data. What is the best practice for this. Can I use SSIS or do I need to build an app in C#? Can somebody please reply back?
Thanks a lot!!
ISTR QA running in 7.0 would return print statements and messages as thequery ran (well, after a "GO" statement anyway). In 2000 it doesn't returnany messages until after the entire query batch has completed. In wanting tokeep an eye on progress on long batches, how can I make 2000 work more like7.0 in this respect?

We are currently trying to get to grips with SQL Server 2005, and have a basic question. Is it possible to user Query Analyser from SQL 2000 with 2005? All our support staff use Query Analyser on a day to ay basis and all our clients are currently on SQL Server 2000. It would be usefull if when new customers come on line with 2005 our staff can use one tool to perform their tasks
We've tried to run Query Anayser and it's comming up with a connection error, this may be down to us not setting some access up or not connecting correctly.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have to audit a number of servers and tally with source installation CDs. How can I tell which CD license key has been used on a server , i.e. where (I assume in registry) is the license key held ??
Many thanks.
We have a win2003 server box that is using MS-SQL 2000. We have a 20user license on this server at the present time. We have a need toallow up to 5 simultaneous additional users access to a subset of thisdata from our IIS server. How does this affect my current SQL ServerLicense? We can restrict access via connection pooling, etc. Can weuse a 30 user license or must we go to a CPU license? Does anyoneknow where to find Microsoft licensing information on this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL 2000 pricing and licensing is quite confusing, and even more pain including the upgrading pricing from sql6.5/sql7.0.
I got very clear Windows2000 pricing and upgrading from one Microsoft web address. But just could not find a ONE Microsoft web sit explicitely describe the $ pricing for each of SQL2000 edition (per processor vs. CAL..., including upgrading from SQL 6.5, SQL 7.0). May be I missed that site?

Hi,
I am studying SQL Server by myself (I am a Sybase DBA) and I have a little problem with the Query Analyser.
I actually have 2 server in my PC (XP) and I can see them via SQL Server Enterprise Manager, I also can open Query Analyser for these two server via Enterprise Manager.
When I try to launch SQL Query Analyser from the start menu, I can't see any of my two server and can't chose a connection.
Do I need to write some parameter somewhere?
It's not a big problem as I can work via Enterprise Manager but I just want to know.
Thank you for your response.

Hey Gang,
I was wondering if there was an alternative to using SQL SERVER and not having to spend all that money on a license?
Hi,
My Sql server License mode is set to Per Seat, is there a way to change that to Per Server? If yes what are the ramifications.
Please let me know ASAP

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

Hi Everyone
We are building a new site using ASP and SQL as the backend.
Any idea where I can find some information about best practices to coonect the 2.
I was thinking about IIS on a DMZ with port 80 only open and the SQL inside the internal network and open port 1443 between them.
Any ideas will be welcomed.

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
