To the best of my knowledge:
>1. is it possible to still buy SQL server 7 somehow?
>does the new (per-cpu) pricing apply to this?
You may be able to find a copy somewhere, but keep in mind that M$ is
likely to disallow SQL 7 licensing at any time, which will mean that
SQL 7 owners will be forced to upgrade to SQL 2000.
>2. is it possible to lease SQL 7/2000 somewhere?
Lease? I presume you can purchase on credit.
>3. is it possible to have the rather high price splitted into monthly
>payments?
See above.
>4. do I have to buy per-cpu license if I use SQL with Coldfusion (IIS)
>to server dynamic webpages? can I buy per-seat license for this?
Yes, you must buy a processor license for each CPU with SQL 2000 for
use on the Internet. Quite a scam. So, if you have say Dual 500 MZ
processors, you can buy a brand new server with a single 900 MZ or
higher processor with the money you'll save by buying a single
processor license. I don't think that applies to SQL 7, but as I
said, expect M$ to disallow SQL 7 licensing at sometime in the future.
