SQL Licencing Problems

Jan 4, 2007

It seems as though our last administrator has installed Enterprise Licenses (SQL 2005) We need these to be Standard, can I down grade some how with minimal to no disruption to our databases?

If so How, if not (which i almost positive that you are going to say NO) then i assume I am going to have to reinstall the SQL server. What is the best way going about this with out having to restore all of the databases? Can i copy all of the MDF and LDF files else where and then once the new installation has completed create the users, then databases and then replace the MDF and LDF?

Is there a better way then this if so it would be a huge help.

Thanks

Licencing Issues

Oct 26, 2000

I have installed SQL Server 7, but in error I set the licencing protocol to 'concurrent users' rather that 'number of seats'. Is there an easy way to change this over? The only option I am aware of is to back-up the DB,re-install SQL Server and then restore the DB.
Is there a better option?

I Don't Understand Licencing

Apr 19, 2007

Hello, i just bought sql server 2005 with 5 cals (previously i was using a shared sql server with my previous host)... I probably should have asked this question before i bought it... i don't understand how the cal licencing works... the sql server is for running our ecommerce site, i just got a dedicated server to put this on... but from reading the licencing does this mean that only 5 internet users can access my website(or the information in the database) at a time???

any help with this would be appreciated

SQL Server Personal Ed - Licencing?

Feb 27, 2004

I just found that one of the SQL Servers I support shows it is 'SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition'. I've checked and there is a spare SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition' licence in the organisation.

Do I need to re-install SQL Server 2000 with the correct media so that it shows 'Standard Edition' in the SQL Server properties? Or is it ok just to leave Personal Edition on there?

SQL Licencing For Application Software

Jan 30, 2008

Just looking for some clarification. I have written an application that uses SQL Server 2005 to host all the data. The system uses MVC so a data connection is open, data requests are made and then the data connection is closed. All users connect to the database using the same database credentials. If I then want to sell this application and the client has 10 users, do I need a Server licenes + 10 Cals, even though there is in effect only 1 database user? There are only ever likely to be 3 users on the system working at the same time.

Thanks

Installation And Licencing About MSSQL 2005 Standard Edition And Clustering Mode

Feb 8, 2007

Hi,

I have a question about using MSSQL server 2005 standard edition in Clustering mode.
I would like to build a msql cluster with only 2 servers (2 nodes).

I read here -> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=818234dc-a17b-4f09-b282-c6830fead499&DisplayLang=en
page 5 that you can use MSSQL server 2005 standard edition in Clustering mode with 2 nodes.

But my question is :
Can I use windows 2003 standard edition (Clustering mode managed ????) or I only can use windows 2003 enterprise edition ?

J.
