Issue
How are the licencing requirements for SQL Server 2008 determined when being used on a Continuum LAN installation with multiple workstations.
Environment
- SQL Server
- Continuum
- Licensing.
Cause
Determining the licensing requirements for SQL Server can be a very complex undertaking, and not something that we can help you with at Product Support. This is because there are a number of variables that must be factored in to the final determination. Web servers and Marathon virtual servers add their layer of complexity. Even determining the requirements for a simple multi user LAN system with one database server and ten workstations can be tricky since one has to factor things such as how many processors each machine is running as well as how many machines will be connected to the database.
Resolution
The following guide is a starting point. To bid a job however, I would recommend working with Microsoft to determine the requirements.
