I also agree with Jim. MS' rule is that you must "know" each user that connects to SQL Server. You must then provide a SQL CAL for each user.
If you do know "know" each user, basically when connected to the internet via a web server, then you MUST license SQL as "per-processor". Otherwise, you could get a base SQL Server install (that normally includes 5 CALs) and get by with a minimum expense. You know MS won't allow that. ;) If this SQL Server will provide for an intranet ONLY (captive audience), then you can get buy with CALs, but then you have the hassel of maintaining enough CALs and the cost may be more-expensive than just licensing per-processor.

Everything I have seen regarding using SQL Server in conjunction with an internet facing application server requires the per processor license. Even in the old days before the current per processor licensing, you had to by the internet connector license if it was going to be used with an application server on the internet....just a CAL wouldn't cut it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232411 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
