That is correct. As long as you are certain that only your internal
employees (about 30 desktops) will be accessing the sql backend, then you
can get away with 30 Per-seat CALs and choose the "Per Seat" option in the
Licesing Mode dialog box when installing SQL 2000.
But if you ever consider opening up the app for external Web users (over
the Internet or extranet), then the Per Processor license would be ideal.
This is because of the fact that typical idea of counting devices or users
in these scenarios ranges from difficult to impossible.

| As I understand it:
|
| IF you can control how many users access a web app (it is on your intranet
| or you don't expose the database driven pages to the entire world) you can
| get by purchasing CALs. If your app is on the internet and anyone can
| connect to it you need to go the per processor route.
