Yea, borders of the description are not clear.

There was an MS guy around here who was working about Documentation, maybe
he realizes this topic and do something. Or, as you suggested, we can send a
feedback about this indefiniteness.

Hi again, Ekrem,

I know you know that. I was merely trying to convey how I read/interpret
that text. It seems we are talking past each other today... ;-)


Here's a "seperate" machine if this is the keyword. It's not going to be
a SQL Server server; however, a SQL Server Tool is going to be used on
it. According to this Q & A, I'll need another SQL Server license because
I'll be using a SQL Server Tool on it?

No, you would need a *client* license. I.e., the "permission" to access
your SQL Server. Vague, I know, but being a layman, I'm using layman's
terms and express how I understand it.

So, I agree that there is a degree of vagueness in the MS text, probably
because the topic per se is a bit strange. Consider below:

"any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have
a valid license"

First, the "license" they refer vaguely to here is a type of client
license. But:
One now can think that exactly constitutes a license? Especially when we
are talking about per processor licensing. It would basically mean we can
buy one per processor SQL Server and install SSMS on all the machines in
the world? Or in our company?

Perhaps it is time to do some feedback on that web-page (bottom of page)?
My experience is that MS are in general very responsive to feedback on web
pages and such.

Tibor,

I know there is no such a license SQL Server Tools license =)

As it says "any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies
installed must have a valid license" in the Q & A, I end up with a
question mark: "I have a SQL Server server which has SQL Server database
engine and tools installed on it and have a license for that particular
SQL Server server (processor or server + CAL whatever), however I want to
use the SQL Server tool SSMS on another server in my environment,
according to that Q & A, I'm using a SQL Server tool on another device
other than that licensed SQL Server server and as it says 'you need a
valid license for SQL Server tools' do I need any other SQL Server
license for the other unlicensed server which I'd like to install only
SSMS?"... This is the point I wonder.

Here's a "seperate" machine if this is the keyword. It's not going to be
a SQL Server server; however, a SQL Server Tool is going to be used on
it. According to this Q & A, I'll need another SQL Server license because

I think this Q & A could be clearer.

Ekrem,

I'd say that the key word here is "separate". There's no "SQL Server
tools" license you can buy. I.e., if you are licensed to connect to the
database instance, you are also licensed to use the tools. At least this
is how I read it. :-)

I just want to share something weird with you guys on SQL Server Tools'
licensing.

Here' s Q & A about licensing of SQL Server Tools:
Q. Do I need a separate license to run the SQL Server tools and
analysis services?
A. No, a separate license is not required. However, any device that has
SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server
license.

Even though it says a separate license is not required to run the SQL
Server tools, in the second sentence it says any device that has SQL
Server tools (SSMS is one of them) will need a SQL Server license.
Isn't this a contradiction? Or do I get it wrong somehow?

Clara,

It looks like you may not have selected the "Workstation components,
Books Online and Development Tools" when you installed SQL Server. If
that is the case, just follow the instructions at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913967

Of course, on a desktop you can install those tools, which include
Management Studio, without installing the SQL Server engine.

Ekrem,

I'd say that the key word here is "separate". There's no "SQL Server
tools" license you can buy. I.e., if you are licensed to connect to the
database instance, you are also licensed to use the tools. At least this
is how I read it. :-)

I just want to share something weird with you guys on SQL Server Tools'
licensing.

Here' s Q & A about licensing of SQL Server Tools:
Q. Do I need a separate license to run the SQL Server tools and
analysis services?
A. No, a separate license is not required. However, any device that has
SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server
license.

Even though it says a separate license is not required to run the SQL
Server tools, in the second sentence it says any device that has SQL
Server tools (SSMS is one of them) will need a SQL Server license.
Isn't this a contradiction? Or do I get it wrong somehow?

Clara,

It looks like you may not have selected the "Workstation components,
Books Online and Development Tools" when you installed SQL Server. If
that is the case, just follow the instructions at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913967

Of course, on a desktop you can install those tools, which include
Management Studio, without installing the SQL Server engine.

Hi all,

I don't know why there is no Management Studio after I install SQL
Server
2005 Developer Edition. Is something wrong during the installation?
If not,
where can I get the Management Studio?

Clara
