Re: Using Developer Licence for Dev and Test Servers



Here is what is posted on the MS web site for Developer edition:

Ideal Choice for Independent Software Vendors, Consultants, System Integrators, Solution Providers, and Corporate Developers

Developer Edition allows developers to build and test any type of application with SQL Server on 32-bit, ia64, and x64 platforms. Developer Edition includes all of the functionality of Enterprise Edition, but is licensed only for development, test, and demo use. Each license of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition entitles one developer to use the software on as many systems as necessary and additional developers can use the software by purchasing additional licenses. For rapid deployment into production, Developer Edition can easily be upgraded to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.

So as long as each developer has a valid developer edition license you are all set on Development servers.

Hi

If running in an Enterprise level organisation with separate servers for
Development/ Testing, Business Acceptance test and Production is it allowed
to use the SQL Server Developer Licence on the Development servers

The reason for this question comes from the following article:
http://www.sqlserverclub.com/essentialguides/essential09.aspx

is the approach being proposed here legal?
