Re: Licensing Info

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You need an SQL licence for every user/device (depending on licencing mode) that derives information from the SQL Server.
In your case it is dependent on the hardware configuration of the SQL server what would be the best value
to either aquire between 70 and 120 more SQL CALS "or" switch over to a per processor licence.

This is a concept called multiplexing and it has been discussed here and resides in the google groups archives now.

http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.project.server/browse_frm/thread/6b0345a602ddd789/2e792e5a4f02f654?q=multiplexing+&rnum=1&hl=en#2e792e5a4f02f654

Two Things

1.) Most Microsoft people have not known much about PS licencing.
2.) Watch out for buying SQL 2000 and then needing to go to 2005 when your business application or Project Server
suggests it. You don't want to have to buy twice in a short period of time so you may want to consider a software assurance
situation.
