Hello,

You do not need additional licenses for multiple instances. You may want
to take a look at the following quote by Microsoft:

Q. How does licensing work with the multi-instance feature in SQL Server
2005?
A. You can run multiple instances of SQL Server 2005 on a single computer.
Multiple instances are used by organizations that have several
applications running on a server but want them to run in isolation so that
any problem in one instance will not affect the other instances. In SQL
Server 2005, you can now run multiple instances with the Workgroup,
Standard, and Enterprise editions when they are licensed server/CAL or on
a per-processor basis.

nWhile discussing the use of multiple instances of SQL 2005 on a sigle
server, the question of licensing came up. Does multiple instances of
SQL
2005 require multiple/additional licenses?
