Ok, here goes....
What exactly does a standard SQL 2005 license cover? I want to have 3 client stations entering data, one IIS serving up data to an unknown number of persons via a web page. Under the 1 server 5 CAL package would this setup be covered? or will I have to go the processor route? I might add that the user accessing via the web service would be on an intranet behind a firewall.
Thanks in advance!
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,
We have a .NET Remoting application whose "server instance" connects to SQL Server Express and send data via remoting to its client application. There is no need for other direct access to SQL Server except for the "server instance". Now my software vender advices us to upgrade to SQL Server WorkGroup edition and now we are facing the question which license to buy. Could you advice us?

Hi
I would like to setup about 20 websites (each with database search engines) and would like to use SQL Server 2005. This setup will be run by myself (i.e. single user)
I'm a little confused about which license I need. Do I go for the $23k full version or free license (Express) or something in between??
Could someone please advise. Would be happy to submit further details if required
Many thanks

Hi,
I need to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition 64-bit running on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition 64-bit. Instead of installing it on every single machine I thought of installing it on one of them, updating it with all the necessary updates, creating a ghost image of the updated system and database and copying the image on all the other machines.
After doing it I however need to update both the system and SQL Server license keys. And there comes my question whether one can change the SQL Server license key after the installation??
Thanks in advance
Currently, i am planning to develop a small system for my client by using SQL database. However, i am not sure is it legal to use SQL Express 2005 in this project? I mean setup the SQL Express 2005 in their server then my application will access this database. Is it legal? or Do i need to purchase any license in order to do that? or I need to purchase a SQL Server 2005 Standard or Enterprise version?

My organization is currently migrating about 35 databases from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Most of the databases are small with the largest being about 6gb. These databases are not very transaction intensive. We are about half way through as we started the project a year ago. We purchased new hardware for this SQL 2005 so it is a side-by-side migration and it has been going well so far. I made one oversight which I think will come back to haunt us down the line. I installed Windows Server 2003 Standard R2 Edition and of course now I am considering putting more RAM in the server. We have 4 GB of RAM in the server and of course Standard Edition will not address more 4GB of physical ram. I have not seen any memory pressure yet but as databases are migrated over the amount of physical RAM drops. My buffer hit cahce ratio and page life expectancy performance counters are fine so far. The server is a brand new HP DL 380 G5 with with tons of disk and processing power, but only 4GB of RAM. I can't migrate to another server with more ram obviously.
1. What would you do in a situation like this?
2. I could do an in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2. Has anyone attempted an in-place upgrade? I have no applications
on this server, just SQL 2005 Standard.
3. Would the /3gb switch be an option? I have heard mixed reviews on this one.
As far as database optimization, %75 of the databases are third party so we have little flexibility in tuning them or redesigning
tables.
Thanks,
Alex
Hi All
Sorry about that naïve question but for some reason on one of my computers when I connect to Sql 2005 I don€™t have Edit option when right clicking on a view.
If I€™m connecting from another computer using same login it€™s all there.
Could you please help?
I printed out several pages of documentation regarding the install of 2005. When I tried performing the installation from CD I double-click splash.hta, as indicated in "How to: Install SQL Server 2005 (Setup)". Under Install I see two options:
Server components, tools, Books Online, and samples
Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard
The documentation indicates I should be clicking on "Run the SQL Server Installation Wizard", which is not an option. If I select "Run the SQL Native Client..." it appears to be only installing the client and does not follow the remainder of the instructions. I can't find any information on Microsoft's site on how to perform an install from CD.
I'm guessing I should be using the DVD, but has anyone else noticed the "How to" documentation is a little off and have you found any other documentation that is more accurate?
Thanks, Dave
Why did Microsoft release a replacement for MSDE called SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Options without the SQL Agent? I bought into the MSDE and got rid of the other databases we supported now we have to go a create an equivilent to the SQL Agent for a) scheduled jobs b) backup automation. c) etc.
Does anybody really want a database that does not have these built in? I understand I can do these myself but this seems to defy logic to me?
thanks,

Hi,,
when I open a connection to SQL Server 2005 (c#, VB.NET 2005, SQL Native Client) these setting are set (can see it in Profiler):
-- network protocol: TCP/IP
set quoted_identifier on
set arithabort off
set numeric_roundabort off
set ansi_warnings on
set ansi_padding on
set ansi_nulls on
set concat_null_yields_null on
set cursor_close_on_commit off
set implicit_transactions off
set language us_english
set dateformat mdy
set datefirst 7
set transaction isolation level read committed
I would like ARITHABORT to be ON. Have tryied to set it as a defaul in my database, but still the connection has OFF at this setting.
How can I force my C# code to set this option to ON during connection opening?
Thanks,

I am looking for a way to replicate databases from an environment using SQL Server 2000 sp4 to machines using either 2000 sp4 or 2005 sp2. The size of the dbs (+3 gb) warrant a transactional model, but the developers opted to not create primary keys for any of their tables and PKs are required for transactional publications (http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1627873&SiteID=17&pageid=0#1614178). Creating PKs are, most likely, not an option given the time constraints of the project.
I'm also aware of the fact that merge replication does not work from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=499634&SiteID=1).
I'm looking for alternative solutions to this problem, regardless of whether it's replication or not. Log shipping was suggested at one point, but I want secondary confirmation on this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE: Log shipping in SQL Server 2000 is supported in Enterprise and Developer edition. The source server is using 2000 Standard.
UPDATE 2: Log shipping in SQL Server Standard is *possible* but unsupported http://sql-server-performance.com/Community/forums/t/17798.aspx?PageIndex=1. It looks like the original poster was still having problems by the end of this thread.
Hi,
I have a customer, Customer who has purchased SQL Server Standard Edition 2005 via Open License Agreement. The product key is not available with the media.
I checked with eOpen team and confirmed that SQL 2005 does not require product key or Volume License Key for installation.
however, according to the VKB article 331355 titled "eOpen License Web Site" under "Exceptions" it is mentioned as:
SQL Server: The product key is distributed with the media. If the customer did not get a product key with the media, refer them to their reseller. The product key is hidden between two shrink-wrapped CDs.
Need your clarification on this,
How should we provide the key to the customer.
Thanks,

All,
If this questions is misplaced please forgive me.
I have a customer who has a Win SBS 2003 Premium installation with a Win 2003 Standard member server running SQL 2000 housing a Practice Management App.
The new release of the Practice Management App only runs on SQL 2005.
My question is what are my options for obtaining SQL 2005 in the most cost effective way? The SBS Premium install was not a candidate for the 'free' upgrade to R2. Is there an 'upgrade' release of SQL 2005 for existing SBS Premium customers?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. When i create a new database (using the "New Database" dialog) i cannot set the new database's compatibility level to "SQL Server 2005(90)" because this option is not in the "dropdown list". the only items shown are: "SQL Server 7.0(70)" and "SQL Server 2000(80)". I set the owner to "sa". How do i get "SQL Server 2005(90)" in my "compatibility level" drop down list? Is this an installation option that i missed? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi,
SQL Server 2005 isn't accepting any connection other than SQL Management Studio from the local machine. However, even that's exhibiting strange behavior (please see below for more details).
I've read through all the common errors regarding enabling remote connections via the SAC tool, making sure protocols are enabled, etc. This case seems to be completely outside. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Elias

What
is your client database provider? N/A Or/And, what is your client
application? SQL Management Studio and others
Is your client computer in the same domain as the Server computer? Same domain

A separate instance of SQL Server 2000 on a different machine on the same domain is functioning without problems.
Telnet to either SQL Server (functional 2000 or problem 2005) on port 1433 is not possible - even when attempted from the local machine using 127.0.0.1! Telnet to both machines works using other ports.
When creating a DSN from a client machine, problem 2005 instance is in list of available SQL Servers, however connection fails ("SQL Server denied access or does not exist").
MSSQLSERVER service starts automatically on boot. However, once stopped the service can not be restarted. Message given: "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer Started and then Stopped.

SQL Server communication manager shows TCP, Shared memory, named pipes enabled. However event log seems to show instance not listening via any protocol. Message displayed as: "SQL Server listening on ." (should read: "Server is listening on ['any' <ipaddress> <ipv4> <Port Number>])
Several answers indicated uninstall and reinstall could solve these problems. However, wizard refused to uninstall SQL Server.
Attempted disabling Shared Memory as documentation indicates this protocol gets used first. No luck.

Hello all,
I need to pick up a SQL Server 7 license, but I am a little confused as to what I need.
I'll be running SQL Server 7 on a web server. I'll be the only one logging to maintain SQL Server. There will be three different apps the run on the server that each will have one to ten databases.
So, what's the minimum license I need? Will the developer's license work?
Any one out there have a license they want to sell - cheap? :)
Thanks....

How do you increase the number of license? With 6.5 we were able to do this through the setup on the CD but it will not let me do this with 7.0? The specific error is SQL Server Error 18460. Logon Failed. The maximum simultaneous user count of 5 license s for this Standard Edition server has been exceeded. I have upgraded the licenses in the License manager for Windows NT but SQL 7.0 does not seem to recognize it.
