Licensing Sql Express For Web Hosting Providers
Oct 24, 2006
For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express?
I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients.
Could someone clarify this for me? If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer.
Thank you!

Hi all,
Since I activated the aspnet_regsql.exe tool, it has been a bad day - here's why:
Originally I installed VS2005 Pro (without Sql Express) and then Sql Server 2005 Dev. I then started to learn asp.net from the ".NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 Web-Based client Development" Training kit from Micorsoft. I have compiled and run every exercise up till Chapter 9 lesson 2 exercise 1, without the need to start the Sql Server 2005. In exercise 2 I should learn about asp.net profilers and the exercise showed me to use the aspnet_regsql.exe tool if I was using Sql Server 2005 - and so I did, and exercise 2 worked fine after a couple of adjustment in the connection string, because it was configured to use the SQLEXPRESS server by default.
However - in Chapter 9 lesson 3, I should not use asp.net providers, so I shut down the Sql Server 2005, because I don't have that much memory to spend. Now the trouble comes - every website I have made afterwards require that the Sql Server 2005 is running or else I get some errors.
How can I get back to the way it was before I activated the aspnet_regsql.exe, so I don't have to have the Sql Server 2005 running every time I want to make a website using aspx?
Thanks in advance

hello guys
I am developing ASP.NET applications in order to build a portfolio, im using MS SQL EXPRESS databases, do i need a hosting account that allows multiple sql databses or does SQL express fit in to your application, eg as many as you like in as amany applications.

I am currently developing an asp.net 2.0 app which uses form authenication now implemented in a sql server express mdf database file. I wonder if there will be problems when I want to deploy this app on a hosted server from a hosting provider. I have the impression that hosting a SQLexpress user instance is currently not supported by hosting companies. Is this correct? Should I revert to an msaccess database instead (we don't want to pay extra for full blown sql server storage).

Hi guys, I hope this is the correct place to post this question. 1) My website makes use of the Membership and Roles of asp.net 2. 2) I have uploaded my website to a shared hosting server, which doesn't support sql express (mdf files). It does support mysql, so I used a custom Membership provider for MySql. 3) It worked greate on my local computer, however (!!) it still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file in the AppData folder. 4) Obviously, when I tried to run it on the website, I got an error. My questions: Why my website still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file even if I am not using it anymore for the Membership ? How can I disable it, in order for it to run on a server which does not support it ? Thanks, Itye.

I've created a new website using the new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. This site uses SQL Server Express (free software) as a storage for personalization data, etc. Now I want to deploy my site, but here it ends for me:My web site hoster does not support the SQL Express edition in a shared hosting environment. I think most people have a website running in a 'shared hosting' plan. How can this large group enjoy the new Express line when SQL Server Express is not supported? "SQL Server Express is not a part of the SPLA SPUR (Services Provider License Agreement)", they all say. Here it ends for me, my ISP and their licence supplier. Even at Microsoft's Response Management Team, 'no' is the answer.
What to do now? Move on to an expensive 'dedicated hosting' plan? Write a membershipprovider for MySQL?I feel as if I was given a free ticket for a nice journey but there's no traffic possible.
Who can help me out here? What can I do...

Anyway, do you have an suggestions?
My web hosting provider has advertised that they do support SQL Express 2005. What exactly do I need to ask them to do in order to get this working?

Hi - I am about to sign up with a new hosting company and I wanted to check my use of Express edition would be ok with their setup (full version 2005), they replied:
----------
yes the formats are the same but some functions in the Express Edition are not supported by the full Version as the Express Edition is for development only. We cant say if you will run into any errors as we don't know what you do and which functions you are using.
----------
Is this true - I figured it would be more likely that the the Express edition represented a subset of the full versions functionality and since they produced the same format, would be compatible in this direction. It smells of BS to me but i just wanted to check with the experts...what do you reckon?
Many Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
Can a web hosting company charge clients for using an SQL Express instance on their network?
E.g. The host charges the client $x per month per instance. Is this legal?

What is needed for a hoster / hosting company to be able to host .Net applications with SQL Server 2005 Express database?
My questions regarding this issue basically are:
If a hoster has several sites hosted on a server, can each one of them have its own SQL Express database?
Or, do they have to be migrated to full SQL Server?
What is with the Upsize Tool for SQL Server Express (or something like that) - is it available?
Generally, how do hosters do their hosting - do they have SQL Server SPLA signed? Or do they just have SQL Server 2005 Express and allow users just to copy their web sites and databases to server?
I would really appreciate any answer.
Kind regards,
Luka

I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?

Hi,
I'm a little confused about the licensing of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I'd like to know whether:
Suppose I build a VB app which requires a centralised database, and I bundle SQL Server Express as the app's db engine, is this allowed in the licensing?
Suppose that the previous scenario is allowed, can my client opt to have me use the bundled SQL server express to be installed in my machine to host the database for him?
I apologise if this is not the right place to post this question. If that is the case, can someone point me out in the right direction? I have tried calling MS support lines, but they don't seem to know the answer as well.
Thanks in advanced.

Hey,
I have a asp.net 2.0 app that has a sql server express backend. I have been scratching my head for weeks trying to find a good wasy to encrypt my connection string. I store the string in web.config (which in itself is in theory "safe" because it's not servable) and I have scoured the web to try to find a simple way to encrypt the connection string. Even using user store would require running aspreg_iis.exe on the host with a command prompt (which clearly I cannot do). It seems that everyone's solution requires running a command prompt executable on the server.
So I am left to wonder what everyone else does. I am not comfortable using just the web.config because a determined hacker could get to that info. Then again, a determined hacker could get into any system , I guess. There are no credit card #'s stored in this app, but in theory there must be a way. I run all access to the db through stored procedures with permissions, for whatever it's worth.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
From reading the licensing considerations page [1], my understanding is that if my environment is 2 servers - an IIS Server and a separate SQL Server Std - I will need a 2nd license of SQL Server to run Reporting Services on my IIS Server? Is this correct? If so, would a license of SQL Server Express Edition w/Advanced Services satisfy the second license requirement, or would I need a license to match the database server?
Essentially, what is the recommended guidance for Reporting Services and Web Applications? It's a known best practice that, for performance, run SQL Server on a dedicated machine separate from IIS. Is it recommended that the database server also serve the reports?

I have Windows server 2003 SR2 and wich to install on it OLE DB Providers. I mainly have an application that needs OLE DB provider for Excel and Dbase to access read excel and dbase Files on disk. I have searched all over the web for a download link. I installed MDAC on the server and restarted bu still no luck. My ODBC applet in the control panel only shows the SQL native drivers.
PS: Windows is 64 bit. I believe this might be why. But what can I do in this situation?

I have installed the latest 64-bit Oracle10g Release 2 ODAC for Windows x64 (10.2.0) client software in a 64 bit server but I am having the following issues:
After I installed the software and I try to create a new connection in SSIS using the OLE DB or .NET provider, the providers do not show as an option in the connections.
I believe I am missing one step in registering the driver in the server but I do not known where, Could it be a permissions issue?
In addition, I tested the ODBC connection and I had to declare the path for the Oracle path in the environment variable manually since it was not set during the installation. ODBC connections are working correctly.
Does anybody knows what steps I am missing?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I am trying to configure an SSIS connection manager to recognise a SQL Server 6.5 database but I can't get it to work. Testing the connection works but I am unable to select a database from the drop down list.
Which OLE DB provider should I use to access a SQL Server 6.5 database?!

Hi,
I am planning on using SSCE in a desktop embedded scenario. In considering deployment options, in addition to the SSCE runtime, I would also need to bundle either MDAC (OLEDB) or .NET Framework 2.0 (ADO.NET).
From the installer footprint standpoint, it's a no-brainer since MDAC is much smaller in size than .NET Framework. However, an article from the MSDN library (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa719514(VS.71).aspx) talks about the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server and how it performs much better than the OLEDB counterpart.
So my question is, how much of a performance difference is there between using the OLEDB provider vs. the ADO.NET provider? I am primarily concerned with insert speed.
Also, it does seem a little silly when you need a 22.4Mb installer (.NET Framework) for a provider to a database that is under 2Mb in size.

I have a SQL .bak generated by our existing hosting package at 1and1.com, I want to import that SQL .bak to our new hosting package at ixwebhosting.com.
ixwebhosting.com don't have a import feature in their control panel.
I have to maintain the SQL at ixwebhosting.com using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express since they don't have that feature in their cp. I don't see any import features in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express either.
How can I import it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or another free GUI program?
