SQL Server License Control And Management
Mar 22, 2006
Today many applications (SAP, SIEBEL, MANUGISTICS, PEOPLESOFT, and so
on) does not have a client direct access to connect to the database.
They use an Application Server that has only one connection to the
database and the users get connected to this application server.
THE QUESTION: How to control SQL Server User License in this new model,
automatically?
You cannot enable SQL Server Audit because users are not connected
directly to the database.
You cannot use Identity Management applications because they do not
work on NOT Enterprise Business software.
How to do that if you have hundred of applications and database?
Regards,
Marcio

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??

We are creating an SSIS application for population of the datawarehouse. And we arrived at a stage that business side is starting do some real testing. And of course we am getting some feedback and amendment to the specifications. Which is analysed by the PM's and translated to me.
When an change or amendment is coming to me. The package is checked out of the SVN repository and locked. And the developer makes the changes in a development enviroment and change the related SSIS packages. After the development we make a test run a separated the test enviroment. This test is checked by the Business side and the PM's when approved I copy the modified package to a live enviroment.
When the modified package is put in the live environment we manually check in package to the SVN repository.
The problem is that the changes are slow to implement and the SSIS package is locked for a single problem. And this can be very time consuming.
How are you guys handling development of SSIS packages? Especially where you work in teams or at least with more than one developer?
Is there a application/plugin or tool available which show the changes between two of the sames packages ( different versions ). A warning signal or something like that on the component would be very helpful.
I would be very interested in some more documentation about team development of ssis packages.

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

If I install an instance of SQL Server on a box with 4 processors but specify in the licensing part of the installation procedure that it's a '2 processor license', does that really mean that SQL Server will only use 2 of the 4 processors? I ask because, having done this, if I check the SQL Server instance's properties, on the Processors tab, there are 4 processors ticked - giving the impression that 4 processors are being used by this SQL Server instance. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Another question... If I wish to reconfigure the same SQL Server instance from a 2 to a 4 processor 'per processor' license, how can this be done?

Hi all,I am performing a consolidation of all SQL servers in my environment. Ihave run the tool to find out what level patching they have and whatedition they are running on, but is there a tool so I can scan thenetwork and find out what licensing they are setup for (processor vs.seat)?Even if I have to enumerate each one, one at a time I would be OK withthat. I just don't want to have to login to each server and go toControl Panel and click on the Licensing.Command line is super-duper.Thanks,Josh

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?

I'm a .net developer creating applications that depends on SQL Server as a back end database engine.
I read about the features and pricing options of the different SQL Server 2005 editions here, I also read the SQL Server 2005 express EULA and knew that it's now alright to use it in commercial applications.
I use the SQL Server express engine only for the purpose of development and testing, is this use is lawful?
And if the answer is yes, what's the need for the "Developer Edition" mentioned in the page referenced above?

I'm trying to open an SDF file. After many searches on the net, it appears that there are two ways to do this:
Open the file in VS 2005
Open the file in SQL Server Management StudioI don't have, and don't plan to purchase, a license to full SQL Server 2005. I do have Visual Studio 2005 Pro. When I open an SDF file in Visual Studio, I get the following (oh so informative) error:
The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error
Since I don't have full SQL server, I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express. There's one major problem: the Server type combo box is disabled in the "Connect to Server" dialog. Try as I might, I can find no mention anywhere as to why this is the case. I'm guessing that functionality isn't supported in the Express version of the tool, but as far as I can tell, nobody thinks it might perhaps be reasonable to document why this combo box is disabled. It certainly doesn't show up in the document that shows up when I click the help button on this dialog.
Could somebody at Microsoft please tell me if it is even possible to edit these files without buying a full SQL Server license? I'm trying to use SQL Server Compact Edition to replace legacy code that uses an MDB file (via ADO) for a desktop application. From everything I have read, this is the officially recommended thing to do. But if I now have to buy a full SQL Server lincense to accomplish what used to be a simple double click on an MDB file, then there's something seriously wrong.

I'm trying to find the SQL Server License Number used to install the software on the server. Does the installation program stores the information on the Registry or not? Looking through registry I found the ProductCode but I'm not sure if that is the valid License Number ... It does looks more like the unistall code ...

Hi,
We have a product which uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition with Per Seat licensing option. Going forward with a new release of the product, we intend to upgrade to SQL Server 2005. Till now our product was being used in non web based scenarios so the Per Seat licensing option helped our case. In the upcoming release which would use SQL Server 2005 we need to break off from the non web based scenario as the product would use SQL Server over internet.
So isn't it correct to go for the Processor based licensing instead of the Per seat licensing ?
If so then what would be the ideal manner to upgrade the license from Per Seat (in SQL Server 2000) license type to Processor based (in SQL Server 2005) license type ?
I have heard of Software Assurance providing assistance in version upgrades. Would it help in case I need to upgrade from one license type to another ? Or is it applicable only in case of upgrade where the license type is fixed ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Arun

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
