Where Is The SQL Server License Setup Utility Program?
Jul 20, 2005
I am looking for the SQL Server 2000 Licensing Setup Utility Program
and cannot find it. Everything I read says, goto Control
Panel->Administrative Tools->SQL Server License Utility. When I go
there, I do not see... Any help would be Greatly appreciated!
Setup:
Win 2000 Server
SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Svc Pk 3.
When I install the SQL Server 2005 SP2 on my vista laptop, I get the following message: SQL server setup failed to compile te Managed Object Format (MOF) file c:program filesmicrosoft SQL Server90sharedsqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof. To proceed, see "troubleshooting an installation of SQL Server 2005" or "how to: View SQL Server 2005...
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.
if I want to use full text search in my program, can I include Full Text Search service in my program setup silently in the same way as including SQL Express and .Net Framework to the setup project, Or I have to Install MS Sql Server 2005 on my customer computer?
Trying to update my local developer version of SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. The setup program terminates with the following information dumped from the logs. Not sure if it is related, but I recently installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition (tools, runtime, etc) on the same development machine. It is a little too deep for me to figure out

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1 MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2 IN DNS: A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1 A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
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 MSDN subscription and got VS2005 and SQLServer2005. Our developer develops applications bey using them.

Hello.After searching Microsoft's website for hours and confusing myself morethan I was before I started...Can anyone explain to me what the current state of affairs is for SQL2000 licensing?In particular with a server that has multiple processors and multipleinstances of SQL Server 2000 running - for both Standard and EnterpriseEditions of SQL Server 2000.Please help!Regards,Taz
Today many applications (SAP, SIEBEL, MANUGISTICS, PEOPLESOFT, and soon) does not have a client direct access to connect to the database.They use an Application Server that has only one connection to thedatabase 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 connecteddirectly to the database.You cannot use Identity Management applications because they do notwork on NOT Enterprise Business software.How to do that if you have hundred of applications and database?Regards,Marcio
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?
Do I need a license to use the SQL Server Express in a production environment ?? I thought I needed an existing SQL Server license such as SQL 7 ?? Please let me know. :)
I'm setting up SQL Server 2005 Replication. I have purchase a processor license for SQL Server 2005. Do I need a Windows CAL for each device that will be accessing the replication via IIS?
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?
We have installed the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise trail version for 180 days. As it specifies in the documentation that it exprires after 180 days and in the mean time we have actually made a purchase of the License. Now...do we need to uninstall the trail verision and reset/restart everything again? Please advise.
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
How do we determine on a SQL 2005 server what license type was selected during the install? Where is the informationkept and how it is tracked by SQL Server 2005.
I am trying to do BCP from a comma separator .txt file to upload it into two tables. That is I want the first row (4 columns of header details ) into one table and from the second row (21 columns each of detail rows) to be uploaded into another table. I have written a batch file to upload the header details by giving the first and last column as 1.It is working fine. But when I try to upload the detail rows into another table by giving the first row as 2, the bcp is not able to read from the second row. It skips the second row and reads from the third row. This happens for all separators like pipeline separators also.So to avoid this I have to give blank 21 separators(i.e. , or |) in the second row to avoid the loss of data. Please provide a solution for this, as I cannot insist my customer to provide me a text file with blank comma in the second row. Thanks and Regards, S.Raghuraman
I am about to build a program that will require the use of DB. In the pass I used Access as my back end, but this time I would like to use Sql Server. I just have a few questions before I begin.
1. After deploying and installing my program, do I need to have sql server installed on users system or can the DB file exist on its own and just use ADO.NET to access the file? (As I done in the pass to access my Access mdb file)
2. If I can deploy a sql file -- can it be done with Sql Server Express?
3. If it can't be done, what db program should I use?
I have a SQL server installed in per server license mode... I am getting some error saying
"THE MAXIMUM SIMULTANEIOUS USER COUNT OF 1 LICENSE FOR THIS STANDARD EDITION SERVER HAS BEEN EXCEEDED. ADDITIONAL LICENSE SHOULD BE OBTAINED AND INSTALLED OR YOU SHOULD UPGRADE TO A FULL VERSION""
can someone tell me how to go from per server to per seat....
I have one cluster (two machines) of sql server 2005 active/passive called "ClustA" with one Ent. server edition license and another separate server called "STDA" as warm standby server for "ClustA".
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 need to find all information about distributing SQL Server XE and applications using it . Is it legal ?? should it be used just for educational use?!!! could it be used to develop a commercial software !! what limitations are controlling this ??
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 ...
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 ?
