Actually if you are using a WebServer to connect to the SQL Server you do
not need an Internet Connector License. Internet Connector Licenses are for
users from the internet connecting directly to the SQL Server as in many
Win32 apps that were developed. Attached is the link to this information.
I was advised of this by the Microsoft Licensing Center. You would need a
CAL for every WebServer that will connect to the SQL Server and any other
device from the internet that would be accessing the resources of the SQL
Server.
