Hello Brendon,

I've got the answer from the Server and Tools Product Manager (Microsoft
Turkey).

According to the info that kind lady has given me, we can use the following
tools to administer a licensed SQL Server server and we do not need a
seperate license to use these tools:

Analysis Services Shared Tools
Business Intelligence Development Studio
Connectivity Components
Legacy Components
Management Tools
Notification Services Client Components
Reporting Services Report Manager
Reporting Services Shared Tools
SQL Server 2005 Shared Tools
Software Development Kit
SQLXML Client Features
SQL Server 2005 Books Online
SQL Server Mobile Server Tools

So, yes. You can use SSMS legally (even if it's installed on another machine
in your environment) if you possess a valid SQL Server license.

Hi Ekrem

Thanks for your reply although its still not completely clear to me.

"However, SSMS should be installed on a computer that has a valid SQL
Server license" .

I have SSMS installed on my Windows XP computer which is *not* licensed
for SQL Server 2005. However, the computer has a SQL 2005 CAL assigned to
it which as I understand it makes the installation of SSMS legal.

Hello Brendon,

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is a free of charge version of SQL Server
2005.

So yes, you can administer this instance of SQL Server using SQL Server
Management Studio or SQL Server Management Studio Express legally.

There is no a limitation of administering SQL Server instances using
SSMS\SSMSE. However, SSMS should be installed on a computer that has a
valid SQL Server license.

Assuming I have 5 per server licences for SQL 2005 Standard Edition
servers and I had and 50 clients with SQL CALs I believe I can install
SQL Server Management Studio on any of these 50 client PCs to administer
any of the 5 SQL 2005 Standard Edition servers.

If I then install SQL Server 2005 Express on a new server am I legally
allowed to administer this new server with SSMS?

Thanks in advance

Brendon
