We have a SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition box that contains roughly 100 Databases which does NOT have RS installed. Can we legally install RS on another (non-SQL) server without buying a SQL license, if it connects only to this SQL Server box?
If not, can we use a Standard Edition license for the RS box, and use it to connect to the EE box?
There seem to be a slew of options.
Finally figuring out that I can't use Express, I need to temporarily have my own SQL Server 2000 db server running. Hopefully just a couple of months, but who knows how long it'll take to convert over to MySQL.
Anyway, I need this db server to be on one machine. One web server will be accessing it (for one db).
What type of license do I need? Is it really the massively-priced per processor type? Or can I use another?
Currently we have SQL 7 standard server with 100 user CALs. We are planning to upgrade to SQL 2000. What happens to the CALs we have already purchased for SQL 7?
Do we need to pay again for user CALs on SQL 2000? Or can we pay just for upgrade the server software?
I am thankful for any clarifications.
Hi,
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.

Hi,
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.

SQL 200 introduce changes to licensing. There are two licensing modes, Per Seat and Per Processor.
Is there a way to change the licensing mode from Per Seat to Per Processor for a current SQL Installation
Hello,
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!
Is there a way to get Licensing information(product key) off an installed version of SQL Server 2005? Most Microsoft Software has the product key in the about dialog box, but SQL Server doesn't have this anywhere.
Thanks,
Help me please!!!
I'm going crazy trying to find out the license deal for SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. It seems that here (in the UK) the Developer edition exists and you can buy it but, Micrisoft (UK) and various resellers etc don't know the licensing deal!!!
Now, i've read a snippet somewhere about the developer edition that for a fixed price of around $499 you get a server license limited to 8 connections and you don't have to buy any CALs! However my reseller thinks that you still have to buy CALs up to maximum of 8? Well, i don't think so!!
Has anyone got this edition and know the deal?
Many thanks...
We are about to deploy an application that uses SQL Server 7.0. Enterprise edition running on a dual processor machine. We expect a maximum concurrent usage of about 500 users, normally about 150/200. Could anyone advise me what the cheapest license arrangement would be, I've had conflicting views from Microsoft and two third party software suppliers? We intend to use the machine in future for other applications but as yet have very little idea of usage.

I have several servers running sql enterprise. how do I tell version, licensing model, and client licensing(cal) installed on the server.
Thanks in advance.
Hi SQL TEAM
I'm in a bit of a situation.
Please bare with me as i explain.
We would like to host a web server
Web Server = Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition running IIS
All the website hosted on this server will be available to the public.
Question 1.How do i licenses Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition?
Question 2.Do i need a CAL for every single person browsing to any of the websites hosted on the above server.
As far as i know you can not get a PER CPU license for Windows 2003 Server, is this true.
Question 3. Where would a CAL be required.
Question 4. How about remote desktop to the above server? that requires a CAL.
Thanks in advance for any replies
I know that I can have up to 2 GB RAM for the Standard Edition of SQLServer, but if I had two instances, can I have 2 GB per instance, say for 2instances which would equal 4 GB, or is it 2 GB for that installation of SQLServer and all of it's instances?Thanks.

Hello
We have a sql server 2005 Enterprise Edition installed on one of our servers where we gor processor license.
The question is can i install a second instance of Sql Server 2000 with out buying any extra licenses or should we buy licenses for this second instance seperately.
Thanks in Advance...
Obviously I'm missing something here (Like a brain??), but from the documentation I'm somewhat confused as to the licensing aspect of the everywhere edition.
Scenario: I have a client (small business for example) and I'm updeating their MS Access application, currently having the front and back ends seperate. May I substitute SQL Everywhere edition in place of the data back-end without further licensing, or will a CAL be required?
Thanks,
The company I work for has the latest MSDN subscription which has the SQL 2005 Standard edtion, as well as others, and I am trying to figure out what the license is for the SQL. I.E. Processor or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a multiple processor server. Can I intall a single processor sql server 2005 on that machine and limit it to one processor only?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I need to know if I have to buy an extra license for my subscriber server in the following two scenarios. I have checked similar threads in the forum but could not find an exact answer.
Scenario 1 :
Server A : Publisher - SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
Server B : Subscriber - SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
Server B has ONLY the replica of one or more DBs of Server A
I have already purchased SQL Server processor license for Server A
Replication Type : Transaction Replication
Scenario 2 :
Server A : Publisher - SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.
Server B : Subscriber - SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
Server B has the replica of one or more DBs of Server A plus one or more operational (mostly reporting) DBs
I have already purchased SQL Server processor license for Server A
Replication Type : Transaction Replication
Thanks

Hi...First, I am not sure whether I put this post correctly or not. My issue is I developed one simple web application with using ASP.Net 2.0, VB 2005 and SQL express. I wonder that if i install it to my customer's pc, do they need to pay for SQL express's licensing since it is free now.. Thanks in advance.Regards, Anson
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe MSDE licence says that it can be used for up to 5 concurrent users. My app is an ASP.NET app, so won't I just be using one user - the ASP.NET account? I'm wondering whether we can get away with just buying a new server and sticking MSDE on it rather than shelling out for another £5000 SQL server licence...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI expected to find loads of posts regarding licensing but surprising not.
I have SQL Server Developer Edition, which I believe gives me the right to build and distribute applications which use MSDE (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/msdeuse.asp).
Is there any requirement for the end user to purchase any microsoft product or license?
Quick licensing question...If I am developing an asp.net application using sql server 2005...what is the licensing situation? Do I need just the one CAL for the server with IIS that is hosting the application? or is it one CAL per database connection? One CAL for every person using my application? I'm not sure and I want to make sure that I comply with the licensing for my application. Thanks in advance!Phil
View 11 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I did explore the archives on this one, but could'nt find anything that closely matched my issue. I'm running SQL 7.0 Server (Desktop version) on my
laptop and when I try to use DTS to transfer data from a SQL Server 7.0 running on NT Server 4.0 in the SAME NT domain. The error I get says that the
licensing arrangement I have does not permit me to use DTS.
Please help!

In a replication environment:
Does SQL 2000 standard edition support replication if it would be configured as a subscriber.
Is SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition required for a Publisher and Distributor or can you get away with standard edition.
In a web site environment how many CALs are needed when users access the database via webservers and middleware.
Thanks
Hi there,
I've got 5 user licensing with MS SQL Server 7. I would like to know does the licensing refer to the connection with SQL Server. I've developed an application using VB which have multiple connection (more then 5) with SQL Server. Will there be any problem?
I have a laptop that currently runs Windows 98. I have loaded SQL Server 7.0 Desktop Edition onto this computer. I am getting a DTS licensing error when I attempt to transform data using DTS between remote SQL Servers. The only workaround I have found is to create a DTS package and perform the transformations using transfer manager. This works for me now, but I am wondering how I might go about solving this license problem. It is my belief that a demo version of SQL server 7.0 might have existed on this machine long before I loaded my installation. If this is the case, how can I straighten out the registry to fix my licensing problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf 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 ?

I have an SMS 2.0 site set up on one server and SQL 7.0 installed on another server. I have 288 users and have 288 SMS client license and one SMS server license. My question is do I need to have client access licenses for my 288 users for SQL or is the SQL 7.0 licenses included in the SMS package as long as I only use SQL for SMS?
Also does anyone know if SQL 7.0 ask for the number of license that I have during the installation process?
I would appreciate any input anyone may have on this.
Thanks,
Myron
Is it necessary to reinstall SqlSvr 6.5 in order to chance
from 'per server' to 'per seat' licensing ?
I know that PerSeat is each individual computer that accesses SQL Server
and PerServer is the number of concurrent connections to the server.
Is Client Access Licenses the same as PerSeat?
At installation I erred in specifying per seat licensing when the server I'm working on is actually a per processor license. Can I change this or must I reinstall SQL 2K?
