Great, but I believe the 5 licences refers to how many concurrent users are
allowed to connect to the Database server, not how many users install the
tools...
But of course don't forward this to your network admin person =)

Subject: RE: OUTCOME: Alternative to SQL Enterprise Manager
Thanks for all your suggestions, folks. The situation is now resolved, with
a win to me! <g>
I went to the system administrator and told him I simply had to have a copy
of enterprise manager or I couldn't do the job. IT was no good using VNC
and running it on the server - it would take me 10 times as long to do any
job that way and he was paying me by the hour after all. (that got
his attention). I said that since SQLServer is predominantly used in
large sites - certainly most are far bigger than ours - I couldn't believe
all those people had only one copy of Enterprise Manager and they had to use
remote access tools to use it on the server. I suggested he get the
license and lets look and see if there is a loophole somewhere. HE went
and got the SQLServer box out of the software safe.
There in huge Arial Black letters on the side of the box it says "INCLUDES 5
CLIENT LICENSES".
Whoah!
I said, "Well who's got all those licenses installed?"
"What licenses?"
"Those ones - the 5 client licenses! Who's got them on their machines and
why do they need them more than I do? "
Big pause. (sheepishly) "no one."
"Well then.. give me that CD. You're going to have 2 installed within 30
minutes - one on my machine and one on my assistant's."
LOL!!! I WIN!!
So thanks everyone for your advice. Both of our machines now have
Enterprise manager installed again.
Cheers,
