Default Tracking CAL on Server (MSSQL2005) - 07-20-2010 , 04:46 AM






Hi!
There is a way to connect to a MSSQL server and to count the number
of CAL? Maybe a view on the server?
Thank you
Alberto

Look at the connections!

If you have user-cal then group by users, if you have client-cal group
by hosts.

Thank you Lutz.
Users access by an application level, and the application level use
always the same user....
So I suppose I have to look at the connection by host.
1) Is there a view to do this?
2) It seems just an "empirical" solution. There is not an "official"
repository of the CALs?

Bye
Alberto

I think there is no official solution for tracking CALs.

If you can say "one host, one user" then you can use the hosts to
identify different users.

Look at the following path - Database(master) - Views - System Views (?)

SELECT * FROM [sys].[sysprocesses]
SELECT * FROM [sys].[dm_exec_connections]

Use the online help to understand the informations the views give you.
