SQL 2000 Licensing With CALs
Dec 20, 2006Hi,
I didn't find any other forum to ask this and I didn't find any matching post for my question, so I post it here:
We have an application that is running on 2 web servers connected to a sql2000 server with a 2-processor license ... so I think there we have no problem no matter how many users are using our web application.
But the web application is producing a huge amount of logs that we want to analyze on a distinct multi-proc sql2000 server with a huge amount of harddisk space that's running with CAL licensing (not really sure how many we have for that server).
In a perfect solution we will provide access to the logs via our 2 web servers using the same application, but only for a given number of users (the number of users we hav CALs for). I think using that approach we get into licensing trouble.
Would it be ok to start a second web site on the same servers with an IP restriction allowing only "n" predefined IP endpoints so that only these machines can access the sql-Server that is running in CAL mode?
I'm not really sure what the CAL model really wants to allow - "n" physical users (persons), "n" end user computers, "n" database connections, max "n" of all together and is it concurrent, in a time of one day, the lifetime of the server? Maybe there's a document with some real world examples that I didn't find.
CU,
Sven

SQL Server 2005 Licensing Concern.
Mar 5, 2008Hello,Our company has developed several Access applications for our clientsand we wish to expand to use a database server. We wish to use Accessas the front end application and SQL Server 2005 as the back endDatabes Server. Making a Server-Client application database.I'm very new to SQL Server so my concern is how the licensing worksfor a developer like us. I am aware that we can purchase the Developeredition for $49 USD. Our clients will then have to purchase a theirrespective licensing option.We do not have an issue with this, but i would like a betterunderstanding of how this works.1) The developer edition (DE) is the same as the Enterprise edition.Would our clients have to buy the Enterprise edition ($24,999) if wedevelop the SQL server in the DE? Or can they purchase the Standardor Workgroup edition if the workload allows it?2) If the client already has the Enterprise Edition on the Server wewish to use, will they have to buy the license again if we create theDatabase? Can they import our Database to thier SQL Server, and ourapplication connects to thiers?3) Is there other options that would require a cheaper option for ourclients?4) With just the DE, can we develope applications and use theappropriate edition for our clients whatever it is?5) To test our products we thought of using the Trial version tosimulate a multi-user test environment? Since thats just a 180 daytrial, perhaps the Worgroup Edition or the Light weight Edition mightwork. But these editions might not be compatible with our clients'requirements. The DE doesn't seem to handle multi-user environments,so we cant effectively test how the application will perform in the"real world". Any advices here?Our clients range from small bussiness to nation-wide to multi-national companies.Thanks,- GL

Jul 10, 2007Hi,
Could someone pl explain how is SQL Server mobile 2005 licensed. Do we need to buy license for each device ? or CAL?
In my app, I need a database which is accessed by .net compact framework app. synchronization is also done by our own app, no direct communication from sql server mobile to sql server db. we have a server side .net app which talks to the sql server and a windows mobile app which talks to the sql mobile db, these two .net apps talk to each other like:
sql server mobile db <--->.net compact framework app <--->.net desktop app <-->sql server 2005
Needless to say, there would be multiple devices having the above setup. However only one desktop side app and database. In this scenario, how would licensing be calculated?

If you have multiple instances of SQL 2005 Standard Edition on one Server, do you need to pay a server license for every Instance or just the one Server license?

What Licensing Is Needed To Mirror A SQL 2005 Server?
May 7, 2008
Hello,
I hope this is in the right forum, I'm new to MSDN. I'm also not an expert in SQL, so please bear with me as I was unable to find an answer by searching the archives.
We have a single SQL 2005 Standard installation with 30 user CALs on a Server2003R2 box. We have another Server 2003 box in a remote but connected location that we previously used for backup replication. What we'd like to do is use some of the replication features in SQL 2005 to replicate the data over every night to the other box, onto which we would install another copy of SQL 2005. This would not be a server accessed by clients, but simply a "live backup", that in the event of a catastrophic failure, could be manually set up to operate as a SQL server in place of the failed primary server. I don't need any kind of automatic "failover", just the ability to replicate the data over to the other system so I have two SQL Servers that synchronize from one to the other overnight.
I was told that I wouldn't need to buy the user CALs again, that the 30 user cals would translate over if the primary server fails and has to be replaced by the cloned server. But what do I buy for the SQL server itself? A boxed version is a bit pricy and comes with 5 CALs which apparently I wouldn't need. Then I noticed that on softwaremedia.com the open license version, which can be bought a la carte, lists a requirement of buying at least 5 cals or a processor license. What exactly do I need to do this, and how can I get it for the least amount of further spending?
Thanks!

Developer Edition Licensing SQL Server 2000/2005
Nov 26, 2007Hello,
I have two question with respect to the developer edition licensing in SQL Server 2000 and 2005:
Question 1
I wanted to install a developer edition on a Development/Test Server. The server needs to be accessed by our development and Testing team of a team of 20 from their workstations. Is that possible?
Question 2
And if so what are the different licensing options that I can choose from considering that I don't want to install a developer edition of sql server on each workstation? The developer edition will be installed on the Dev/Test Server and the workstations will connect to the server using NT or Standard authentication.
Looking forward for any advice and suggestions.
Thanks!
SQL 2005 Standard Edition - Licensing Question For Web Server
Apr 11, 2008I have one server hosting an ASP.NET application. It will be running 2005 Standard Edition.
I don't really understand which licensing model I need. Obviously processor licensing would work, but at a hefty price!
The web application and SQL Server are on the same machine, and no other machines will be querying the database. The only 'users' are the people who visit the website (both internal and external users).
Can someone help me properly determine the most cost efficient licening model to use?
Thanks

SQL Server 2005 Standard Licensing && Free Ready To Launch CAL
Jul 6, 2007Hi folks
I attended one of the SQL Server 2005 "Ready to Launch" parties a couple of years ago and was given a complimentary SQL Server Standard Edition CAL along with a copy of the SQL Server 2005 Standard setup DVD.
As there's no mention in the "Ready to Launch" pack of an included Server license I was wondering whether it is possible to install a copy of SQL Server 2005 on a standalone server and use the single CAL in a Production environment without having to purchase a Server license? The pack does include a Product Key - is this the Server license?
Thanks

SQL 2005 RS Licensing!
Mar 7, 2007ok here we go...
Currently Project managing deployment of a lightwieght asp.net web app, and have a web server in a dmz and a database app server behind corporate firewall. The app is to be used by external internet users and is accessed through the web apps authentication. Currently have sql 2005 standard processor licence on the db server.
At present RS is deployed on the main db app server however it is not accessible to the external world as corporate IT advise this is a security risk. Fair enough. They advise I need ot install RS and sql licence on web server to get this to work.
However will I now need to buy a processor licence to enable RS to run on the web server? there was an interesting thread posted below on the deployment of RS. I think if you install Report Manager on separate server (the dmz web server) then you do not need to purchase more SQL licenses? the EULA indicated this but its not crystal clear.
The report manager is a asp.net web app just 'ike the main application. Is it not feasible to install report manager on the web app and then have this talk back to the report server on the main db application?
is Report Server installed with Report Manager regardless, and even if you deploy it separately you still have to pay!

SQL 2005 Licensing
Aug 13, 2007I have a rather complicated SQL Licensing question which i am looking for a simplified answer to. My current production environment consists of a dual CPU W2K3 SQL 2000 ent. as the primary transactional server and a quad itanium W2K3 running 64bit SQL 2000 ent as a backup reporting server. I am currently working on a project that will expose these servers to users outside of our firewall (read only non-transactional) and our desire is not to upgrade to SQL 2005 at this time. In additon, the primary server will be accessed from 7am to 9pm and then a switch over to the backup from 9pm to 11pm as the primary will be unavilable due to maintenance. If I interpret SQL 2005 Licensing correctly we would need a per-processor liscense, either standard or enterprise depending on the features utilized. Since we are only doing log shipping from the primary to secondary server my assumption is to purchase SQL 2005 Standard per-processor licensing for both servers?

Nov 7, 2007Hello all,
Never had to set up a server before and am bewildered by the licensing speak.
I'm going to have 1 small server (probably with 1 quad core processor) with 1 instance of SQL server running on it. The same server will host an intranet site through which all users will access the data.
What kind of licensing set up is required for this?

Oct 18, 2007Hi,
I have a client that has a licensed SQL 2005 environment running on a commercial site. I need to install SQL 2000 as well to support a piece of software that does not run on SQL 2005. The client believes that their license covers them to run both versions of the software - is this correct?
If so, they no longer have the install set for SQL 2000 so is there somewhere I can get this from? I work for a Microsoft partner so we have our MSDN version of SQL 2000 but I suspect that would not work with the clients key?
Unfortunately the client is in a different country so it's not easy to just try it and see.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Microsoft SQL 2005 Licensing && ASP.NET Applications
Jul 3, 2006I am having a nightmare getting an answer about what type of licensing I will need for the standard addition of SQL Server 2005 for my asp.net application and wonder if anyone has any advice.
As I see it its very simple, I have a web app that makes a connection to SQL via a connection string using a single username and password, no impersonation just straight SQL authentication.
For this simple scenario I figured I would need to get a SQL 2005 license and then 1 Client access license (CAL), this being a nice affordable way of doing things BUT I am being told by different sources, that I may need to license on a per processor basis as any user of my web application, anonymous or otherwise needs a client access license and given that I don’t know how many users are going to access my website I would need to go for the larger outlay and purchase two standard processor license (my sql server is a dual processor machine).
Can anyone tell me if this is the case, is a connection from a ASP.Net website to a SQL server for my website visitors regarded as a new client and therefore needs a client access license or the large investment of a per processor license?
I would stick with SQL Express but at 4gigs max it won’t do the job.
Thanks in advance.
How Many CALs ?
Nov 15, 2000Hello everyone,
I have live application in Greece with 300 users. VB5 with SQL Server 6.5
SP5a. The system is being totally upgrade to use SQL Server 7, the
application has also been upgraded.
The client therefore has 300 CALs for SQL Server 6.5.
If SQL Server 7 is being installed, do the clients need to purchase another
300 CALs for SQL Server 7, or do the existing CALs allow for access to SQL
Server 7. (i.e are they transferable). In what blocks can these be purchased
in, can you provide a website URL for reference.
An urgent response to this would be appreciated as I have technical people
(not DBAs, nor am I a DBA !) on site.

Jul 20, 2005Hi,I am slightly confused about the meaning of a 'device cal'(specifically for sql server but I guess the same applies to other mslicences)In the examples about device cals, there is a picture of a number ofwindows desktops connected to a database server. each desktop canpotentially be used by a number of users and requires one device cal.All well and good.Now, say I have a web application hosted hosted on a different machineand connecting to SQL server. the SQL server licencing FAQ says"A device CAL covers multiple users' access to server software from asingle, shared device."is my web server a shared device? so does the web server require asingle device CAL no matter how many users use it?Andy

Licensing Of Data Mining Tools With SQL 2005 Analysis Services
Oct 25, 2006A rather dumb question but I've installed an evaluation copy of SQL 2005 on my machine and a colleague would like the Analysis Services Data Mining capability on his machine (without the eval SQL Server).
Is there a license associated with such an installation when we buy 2005 or does it fall under client components which can be installed on any number of users machines?

How Are Device Cals Managed And Assigned.
Aug 21, 2007Hello all,
This seems like a simple question but I still haven't been able to get an answer from Microsoft Canada. We're looking at buying 75 device cals to connect to a single instance of SQL Server Standard Edition. Our question is on how those licenses are assigned and/or activated.
Do we need to manually do something for each station or is it an automated process done the first time a station connects to the server? We also wat to understand what happens when a workstation dies and is replaced by another one. Do you have to do something on the server to transfer the license to the new station ?
In other words, when using device cals (and/or user cals), do you have to do any type of license management or is it all transparent ?
SQL Server Licensing
Apr 10, 2002If SQL Server 2000 is loaded onto a 8 processor machine, can I legitimately
load Standard Edition, which will only use 4 of the 8 processors, or as
some interpretations of the license suggest, must I purchase Enterprise
Edition (i.e. you are not permitted to load SQL Server on a machine which
has more processors than the Product is capable of using) ?.
I know the "reasonable" answer, but what is the legal position ?

Jan 8, 2004Hi,
My company is embarking on a data warehousing project. We are going to purchase a Windows 2003 server. It would be a dual processor. The specs are not certain yet so cannot give more details on that.
1. The data in the warehouse would be close to 150 GB.
2. There will be maximum of 10 users needs a SQL Server license.
3. Do not need analysis services.
What edition do I go with -Enterprise OR Standara? I want the least priced edition. I looked up the various links on Books Online but I am still not able to decide.
Say I need only 2 GB of RAM. Then here are my questions.
1. Since we are going with a dual-processor, do I need to purchase processor license for each of the two? Why can't I have one license on one processor only? What are the implications of this?
2. The 10 users that I am talking about will be remotely connecting to this Windows 2003 server and accessing the databae.
3. What exactly is Failover clustering? Do I really need it for my warehousing project?
4. Please help me pick the correct license. Here is the link -
