Default SQL Licensing - 04-14-2008 , 01:51 PM






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,

Adam W

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.
