SQL Server 2000: How To Handle Licenses?
Jul 20, 2005
Hello everybody
I've got a small system (~20 client machines) connected to one SQL Server
2000. Two of these machines refuse to connect to the database. As I don't
know how the license system is supposed to work, I haven't investigated
too much yet.
My question is therefore:
Will SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition refuse to accept any new
connections when all licenses are used?
Is such case, what tool do I use to add more licenses?
thanks in advance

Can you change your license setup if it was initially done by seat andyou want to change it to by processor? The server is already up andrunning in a production environment. If so how?

Hello our organization has never had any problems getting users to connect to our SQL servers but we have grown a lot over the past year or two. Does SQL Server actually block connections if they go over the license limit? I don't have access to the servers to see the model used but I have been asked to look into this. I couldn't find any information on this so I decided to ask you guys. Thanks in advance.

I have a problem with sql server merge replication in sql server 2000.
If my db owner €œdbo€? and replication setup under €œsa€? account it works with out any problem. But when I use another db owner it can not work properly.
For an example I have customer table ([dbo]. [Customer]) When I setup merge replication under sa account it€™s work properly.
Again I was setup merge replication using another db owner ([INV]. [Customer]) It doesn€™t work.

I've got MSDE, SQL Server 7.0, installed. I want to handle an .mdfdeveloped by someone else so I loaded the .mdf into my /DATA folder.But, MSDE/ODBC can't see the database. I subsequently discovered thatit was created using SQL Server 2000. Is this the reason that my MSDE7.0 doesn't see the .mdf? If so, how can I use this database with my7.0? Backup from 2000, restore to 7.0?Thanks for any help.

Dear All
I have developed a system which has SQL server as a backend... Reading Microsofts Licensing required i m a bit puzzled if a CAL license is required for each user that is created on my system. i.e. If my system has 5 users, do i need 5 CAL licences.. however, in order to present the required data to these users i log to SQL server with the same single account.
Regards

I need to install some SQL Licenses but the Control Panel applet is non-functional (It states that I have an NFR version of NT). Is there another way to activate licenses?

My company uses a quad processor server connected to a SAN to load and summarize detail sales information from 2000 stores on a nightly basis. We poll and load around 5,000,000 rows of data each night. THis information is summarized up to various levels, then replicated to one or more secondary datamart servers for end user access via web reporting, BI tools like Proclarity/Analysis Services etc...
The initial data polling server is only touched by the development staff supporting the process (1-5 programmers) and is licensed for SQL server Enterprise using a CAL model. Each datamart server is licensed with MS SQL server processor licenses.
The question: We were told that the quad processor polling machine, which has no end user access allowed, must be licensed with processor licenses since it touchs the data ultimately consumed by end users. This makes no sense to me.
The Microsoft white papers discussing multi_tier environments don't seem to address this type of issue. They focus on applications that ultimately pass thru a data request to the SQL server machine. In this situation, user requests are handled by the datamart servers, which are licensed with processor SQL licenses.
Can anyone clarify?
Thanks, Mike

hi all,
our company is using SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition as a backend for inventory and sales data storage.
The top management of our company has decided to web enable all the data for sales and inventory so that any authorized user can have access to the data from anywhere in the world.
now my question is that how many SQL Server licenses will we require if we are going to use it for the web?
We currently hold 20 licenses.
Thanx in advance.

Hello,This is hopefully just a quick question. I'm looking to re-jig our in-house development infrastructure and part of that will be some sort of SQL Server product, and I'm hoping it will be the Developer edition.My question is, how many copies of the Developer edition would I need to purchase, if I have one Windows 2003 server (which will server the databases) and two client machines which will use it.My initial thought is 2 copies, one for each user (as the license states). But what about the server? Do I just install one of the two copies onto the server and the license covers the two client connections?This might seem a silly question with an obvious answer to you guys. However, am I right? I just need to get this clear in my head.Thanks in advance..

As I understand it, if I have a 4 CPU box and I buy 4 processor licenses for SQL Server 2005 Standard, I can run 16 instances of SQL Server on that box.
Now given a cluster set up for active/passive I understand that if I license the same way I can have 16 instances on one of the nodes of the cluster. In the event of a failure, the instances can fail over to the "passive" node and the licenses move with them.
So heres the question. Given my two node cluster, each node has 4 CPUs, if I have some of the resources on node 1, and others on node 2, so instances are running on node 1 and node 2, am I on the hook for 8 processor licenses?

I've just installed Workgroup Edition for the first time. I have copies on each of two servers, each ordered with five CALs.
My problem is that I don't know how to assign the licenses. I can't find anything in the documentation about it, nothing in the tools menus, and no reference to SQL Server in the Licensing application. The latter really looks like the right place, so if I had to guess, I'd think I've installed something incorrectly. Shouldn't SQL Server appear there as a product?
Of course, I'd also think this would be documented somewhere, but then it's probably one of those things that any idiot would know, so there's no need to explain it.
Once I get past that problem, I'll be setting up eight workstations. I understand from Microsoft Sales that since I've purchased a total of ten CALs, then all eight workstations will be able to access either server. Do I have to do anything special to make that work? Currently, there's no domain. The servers are just members of a workgroup.
Thanks,
Dick

Hi all,
I hope I am on a suitable thread. Sorry if I'm not. I just need to know if I need a license in order to write a commercial application using Visual Studio 2005. And, if so, is this license necessary to me as a developer or to my customer that will purchase the application at the end?
And something more. ASP.NET runs on IIS, which is shipped with Windows Server, correct? So, once my customer purchases Windows, he doesn't anything more in order to run a ASP.NET application (which will finally access the SQL Server DBMS). Is this correct?
Thanks in advance

I would like to know does it exist a relation between number of licenses (per server) entered when installing SQL Server and the maximum of connections obtained by @@MAX_CONNECTIONS ? how can i get the information about the number of licenses after the installation ? Thanks.

I was told that there is no relationship between max_connections and number of licences. So how can i know when the number of user connections exceeds the number of licenses per server (with the error 18458 - the maximum simultaneous user count of %d licenses for this server has been exceeded)? Because I did some tests by openning a number of connections greater than my number of licenses and i didn't get any error.

I've purchased and installed SQL Server 2005 along with some licenses and I now have a 'Microsoft Open License Confirmation Letter' in my inbox.
How do I add these licenses to SQL Server and get them active?
How do I check to see how many licenses SQL Server contains?

We are
looking for a solution for a client that we will make software for. We are a ISV. After
completion of the software, our client then wants to sell this software to their
partners, people in that business, etc. We do not want to add any additional cost, by means of them(client(s)) purchasing
a server, server software or licensing. Is there any solution
that will make this work? A runtime or embedded database solution? If there is a
license we need to purchase, what would that be? SQL Express Edition work?

Hi
I'm using service broker and keep getting errors in the log even though everythig is working as expected
SQL Server 2005
Two databases
Two end points - 1 in each database
Two stored procedures:
SP1 is activated when a message enters the sending queue. it insert a new row in a table
SP2 is activated when a response is sent from the receiving queue. it cleans up the sending queue.
I have a table with an update trigger
In that trigger, if the updted row meets a certain condition a dialogue is created and a message is sent to the sending queue.
I know that SP1 and SP2 are behaving properly because i get the expected result.
Sp1 is inserteding the expected data in the table
SP2 is cleaning up the sending queue.
In the Sql Server log however i'm getting errors on both of the stored procs.
error #1
The activated proc <SP 1 Name> running on queue Applications.dbo.ffreceiverQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
error #2
The activated proc <SP 2 Name> running on queue ADAPT_APP.dbo.ffsenderQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
I would appreceiate anybody's help into why i'm getting this. have i set up the stored procs in correctly?
i can provide code of the stored procs if that helps.
thanks.

I have a need when a Update, Insert or Delete is done to a record in DB "A", it will send the appropriate UID to a different table in different DB "B".
My first thought was to have a trigger on the table in DB "A" simply call a stored procedure on DB "B" and do the UID.
However - my question is what is the best approach and what's the best way to establish the connection to DB "B" for the UID from within DB "A"? We can't use linked servers - DNSLESS string would be the preferred connect way. Not sure how to execute it within a trigger.
Is even using a Trigger to Stored Proc the best way?
What about Transaction Replication - which I've never attempted - is that a better way?
Just looking for some guidance here so I don't needlessly burn time down a path that isn't recommended or simply won't work.
Thanks as always for your input,
Peter

Are there any function in SQL Server 2005 which can help to calculate the total no. of days and months? Let's said if I provide 2 dates, 28-Feb-2001 and 01-Mar-2004, it can return 36 Months and 2 Days. The concept is like the function months_between in Oracle. Are there any function in SQL Server 2005 can achieve this?

We have implemented our service broker architecture using conversation handle reuse per MS/Remus's recommendations. We have all of the sudden started receiving the conversation handle not found errors in the sql log every hour or so (which makes perfect sense considering the dialog timer is set for 1 hour). My question is...is this expected behavior when you have employed conversation recycling? Should you expect to see these messages pop up every hour, but the logic in the queuing proc says to retry after deleting from your conversation handle table so the messages is enqueued as expected?
Second question...i think i know why we were not receiving these errors before and wanted to confirm this theory as well. In the queuing proc I was not initializing the variable @Counter to 0 so when it came down to the retry logic it could not add 1 to null so was never entering that part of the code...I am guessing with this set up it would actually output the error to the application calling the queueing proc and NOT into the SQL error logs...is this a correct assumption?
I have attached an example of one of the queuing procs below:
Code Block
DECLARE @conversationHandle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER,
@err int,
@counter int,
@DialogTimeOut int,
@Message nvarchar(max),
@SendType int,
@ConversationID uniqueidentifier
select @Counter = 0 -- THIS PART VERY IMPORTANT LOL :)
select @DialogTimeOut = Value
from dbo.tConfiguration with (nolock)
where keyvalue = 'ConversationEndpoints' and subvalue = 'DeleteAfterSec'
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
-- Lookup the current SPIDs handle
SELECT @conversationHandle = [handle] FROM tConversationSPID with (nolock)
WHERE spid = @@SPID and messagetype = 'TestQueueMsg';
IF @conversationHandle IS NULL
BEGIN
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
FROM SERVICE [InitiatorQueue_SER]
TO SERVICE 'ReceiveTestQueue_SER'
ON CONTRACT [TestQueueMsg_CON]
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER ( @conversationHandle )
TIMEOUT = @DialogTimeOut
-- insert the conversation in the association table
INSERT INTO tConversationSPID
([spid], MessageType,[handle])
VALUES
(@@SPID, 'TestQueueMsg', @conversationHandle);
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
ELSE IF @conversationHandle IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
SELECT @err = @@ERROR;
-- if succeeded, exit the loop now
IF (@err = 0)
BREAK;
SELECT @counter = @counter + 1;
IF @counter > 10
BEGIN
-- Refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164086.aspx for severity levels
EXEC spLogMessageQueue 20002, 8, 'Failed to SEND on a conversation for more than 10 times. Error %i.'
BREAK;
END
-- We tried on the said conversation, but failed
-- remove the record from the association table, then
-- let the loop try again
DELETE FROM tConversationSPID
WHERE [spid] = @@SPID;
SELECT @conversationHandle = NULL;
END;

If myDateTimeColumn contains a <NULL> value. How do you handle that when reading into a DateTime object in your code?DateTime myDate = Convert.ToDateTime(dr["myDateTimeColumn"]);Does not work, it throws: System.InvalidCastException: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types.
I am curious as to what others are doing to handle this?
