Express Edition, Reporting Services, And Licensing
Mar 15, 2007Hello,
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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhich Edition And Which Licensing To Use?
Feb 1, 2007Hi all, I would like to ask which edition and licensing type of SQL server 2005 should I use for the scenerio as described below. Please advice.
I have an ASP.Net application, whereby there will only be around 4 to 5 users accessing to the application. On the same database server, there is another VB.Net Windows application accessing to the database as well. Which kind of edition and licensing type should I use? I have tried MSDE and SQL 2005 Express edition. However, I always get timeout errors from time to time. Does it have something to do with the editions? Please advice. Thank you very much.
SQL Edition And Licensing Switch
Aug 16, 2007I have two SQL servers. One licensed for 2000 Standard Edition licensed under the processor model. The other is SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition licensed under the user cal model.
I want to switch these Editions and licensing models. My production server needs the Enterprise Edition and I want to put the processor licensing model with it. I want to put the Standard Edition on my reporting server with the user cal licensing model.
I have the instructions to upgraded Editions and it is straight forward. Can I use this procedure for both servers and not have issues?
Thanks
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Licensing
May 1, 2008I'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?

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
Can You Yuse Express Edition Toolkit With Express Edition?
Dec 3, 2007Hi,
I am looking to using the express edition toolkit for its BI tools but noticed the that it doesn't support a Database engine.
If I am running SQL Express edition, & install the Express toolkit, will this remove the Database engine functionality of the Express edition? Will there be conflicts? Will they run as separate GUI's or is the toolkit added to the Express edition GUI?
Thank you very much for any suggestions anybody might have on this
SQL Express Licensing
Oct 2, 2006Hi...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

SQL Server Express Licensing
Feb 8, 2006Hi,
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.
Sql Server 2005 Express Edition VS Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
Dec 1, 2006
Hello..
I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server. The only OLEDB Provider is for M.Access. Is this correct? if so, what should i do if i want to connect SQL Server 2005 express edition with VB2005 express edition by using OLEDB connection type?
I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..

Licensing Sql Express For Web Hosting Providers
Oct 24, 2006For 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!

Can't Login To SQL 2005 Express Edition Through Mangerment Studio Express
Apr 29, 2007Hi, all
I installed SQL 2005 express edition in my pc (Pro XP), then I can login from SQL 2005 Managerment Studio Express. After a few days later, I can't do it and an error message as belows:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
It seems that the default setting does not allow remote connections, however, I connected it before and havn't change any setting. I try to reinstall the studio express but still not working.
Any idea / solution will be welcome.

Using VB2005 Express To Access A SS2005 Express Edition DB: O/S Error 32
Feb 4, 2006Looking for help in diagnosing this error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatacartracker.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
Now here's what I did:
Rather than use the Database Explorer within VB2005 EE to create my database, I thought I would try creating my database externally using the downloadable "SQL Server Management Studio Express" tool. (I figured that if I had a stable data model for my database, I could side-step the copying/overwriting issues that come with creating a database as part of a VB solution.)
So having gotten my database setup and populated with some sample data, I am now trying to connect to it from Visual Basic. In VB (in the context of working on a VB Solution), I do the following:
Select Add New Data Source... from the Data menu to bring up the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Choose "Database" for the data source type and click Next.
Click "New Connection..." to bring up the Add Connection dialogue.
For data source I choose "Microsoft SQL Server Database File", with ".NET Framework Data Provider..." as the data provider.
Navigate to my existing database file (in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" folder).
Use Windows Authentication.
When I click "Test Connection" or just click "OK", i get the Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition error shown at the top of this message.
Is this occuring because I'm trying to access my database as an .MDF file rather than through Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? If this is the case, is there any way that I can tell VB2005 EE to use Named Pipes / Shared Memory / TCP/IP? Is this a fundamental limitation of VB2005 EE?
Thanks in advance to the guru who is able to explain this to me...

Standard Edition Fails To Install, Express Edition Fails To Uninstall
May 8, 2008We are trying to install the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005. We already have SQL Express installed. Standard won't install and Express won't uninstall.
We have tried every suggestion we can find and some we made up. When we try to install Standard, we get to the bit where you choose what you want to install and the only thing available is workstation components.
There are so many cases of this on the Internat that I can't believe MS have not solved the issue. And I am stunned that they want to charge us more money to talk to us about how to fix something we just paid them an arm and a leg for!
What do I need to tell you to get some idea of where to go next with this?
Replication Between SQL 2005 Express Edition And SQL 2005 Standard Edition
May 10, 2007Hello everybody,
I got a problem in my development phase. I'm developing a web-application system that running merge database technology which is centralized database and distributed database. This is because my customer want a highly optimum system standby.
My centralized database running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and the distributed database running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (because it is free). Each of these database, the users can change the data on its database. So, every database must have the same data. from my understanding, each server must act as Publisher and Subscriber. Can SQL Server 2005 Express Edition be a Publisher?
If not, what the solution you all may suggest, because cost is the first factor. If my architecture is not correct, so what you all suggest to me to resolve the problem.
Thanks so much. Any suggestion and opinion is highly appreciate and I'm highly thanks to you all.

Windows CE 5 Device With SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Sync With SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Oct 25, 2007I have:
A server computer running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
A industrial computer running SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
And now also a Psion WorkAboutPro with CE 5 that should run SQL Server Compact Edition.
The industrial computer syncs its data with the server, basically saying "this has happened".
Now I want the Psion to sync with the industrial computer, but this sync must two-way.
I have tried to find a guide or something that can tell me "do this to sync" but the information i have found is sketchy at best.
If someone could point me in the right direction of a guide or something else it would be much appreciated.

Replicating From SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition To Remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Aug 13, 2007Hello,
I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).
Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.
The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.
I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Albert
