SQL 2005/2000 Licensing
Oct 18, 2007
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.

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!

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.

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?

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.
CU,
Sven

ok 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!

I 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?

Hello 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?
Thanks
Elliott

I 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.

Hello,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

Hi,
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?
regards,
D2

I'm getting some conflicting information , regarding sql 2005 Standard Edition licensing for multi instancing.
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?

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!

I 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

Hi 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
Chris

A 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?

Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.
Regards,

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??

I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

I have to merge the data from two databases, one is in SQL Server 2005 format, one is in 2000. The merged data will then reside on a SQL Server 2000 platform. Is there an easy way to do this through Management Studio or Enterprise Manager? Or will we have to export the data from the 2005 database to a flat file and import it into a new 2000 database. And then do the merge?
TIA

I am in the process of migrating from Sql Server 2000 to 2005. Part of my plan is to move some database's to 2005, but use the 2000 compatibility mode for the short term. My issue is this, our DR boxes are still on SQL Server 2000, would I still be able to use our log shipping processes? Or would I be better off in starting with migrating the DR boxes to 2005 first?
Thanks in advance.

I have several SQL 2000 servers I need to setup transactional (non updatable) replication with. The structure is:
SQL Server 2000 as Publisher/Distributor
SQL Server 2005 Standard as Subscriber
The connection is via the Internet with snapshots using FTP.
I setup the first set (2 databases at location A). They work wonderfully. I created the publication and then subscribed using MGMT Studio for 2K5.
II am setting up the same scenario for location B. Here is my problem:
In MGMT Studio I connect to the publisher (SANDRA). I right-click a publication and choose New Subscriptions..., the publication is already selected. I click next - Run each agent at its Subscriber is selected and the only option (this is desired), I click Next
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
On the Subscriber's screen there are no Subscribers listed. When setting up location A the subscribing server was listed and I could choose a database. The Next button is greyed out and there is no way to create/add one.
I tried setting up the subscription by right-clicking the subcribing server's Replication folder in MGMT Studio but I get the same result (except that I have to authenticate with the publishing server which works fine).
WHAT'S DIFFERENT:
Location A is SQL Server Standard (SP3) running on SBS2K3. It is obviously on a domain and so SQL Server and the SQL Agent are running under domain accounts. Location B is a Windows XP SP2 machine running SQL Server Personal Edition (it actually says Development Edition in the properties window).
The databases are the same strucutre, different data. At location A the firewall is set to allow 1433->*any* and *any*->1433 where *any* is 1024 or higher. On the XP machine the firewall is set to allow port 1433. I don't think this is the issue because I've turned the firewall off on the XP machine and I get the same result.
ANY IDEAS?

Most of our sql servers ar still sql 2000. Our programmers created many sql 2000 database diagrams using EM. But they can not access them under sql 2005. (They now have only sql 2005 tools installed on their boxes.)
Question: can we reinstall the sql 2000 client tools on their boxes without affecting the current sql 2005 install on their boxes?
Question: is there any workaround negating the need to ihstall the sql 2000 client?
TIA,
