SQL Licensing

#31

As I told you before, it depends on the features you used in your database
development.

If your app works with Express, then go with it not to buy license for SQL
Server instances.

What edition of SQL Server does your app runs against?

- Is it SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?
- If not, is it SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition?
- If so, are there any specific feature you use of SQL Server DE?
- Do you think that database is going to exceed 4GB soon?

I advise you to take a look at the comparison of the SQL Server Editions.
SQL Server Express Edition is a free of charge product and if its features
and limitations are OK for you guys, then you can use it freely, without
needing any license.

Hi All,

I have some programmers that are writing a custom Time/Attendance/Time
Billing software for us and they are writing it in VisualStudio. All
data collected from this program will be stored in an SQL database.
My question is how do I need to license? Do I need a CAL for every
computer with the timeclock program on it? Should I ask them more
specifics about HOW this program will go about connecting? (i.e. will
the server app connect to the database and the client app connect via
the server app?)

I truly hope someone can give me some insight. This is all just a bit
overwhelming right now.

Thanks,

Thanks for the insight. The reason I asked (Not sure why I didn't put
this in original thread) is that we have SQL Standard 05 for another
third party software app, so I thought it might be easiest to
integrate with that. I might give Express a try, though, if it can
concurrently run with 05 std.
