Re: How can I get the Management Studio

Ekrem,

I'd say that the key word here is "separate". There's no "SQL Server tools" license you can buy. I.e., if you are licensed to connect to the database instance, you are also licensed to use the tools. At least this is how I read it. :-)

I just want to share something weird with you guys on SQL Server Tools' licensing.

Here' s Q & A about licensing of SQL Server Tools:
Q. Do I need a separate license to run the SQL Server tools and analysis services?
A. No, a separate license is not required. However, any device that has SQL Server tools or technologies installed must have a valid SQL Server license.

Even though it says a separate license is not required to run the SQL Server tools, in the second sentence it says any device that has SQL Server tools (SSMS is one of them) will need a SQL Server license. Isn't this a contradiction? Or do I get it wrong somehow?

Clara,

It looks like you may not have selected the "Workstation components, Books Online and Development Tools" when you installed SQL Server. If that is the case, just follow the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913967

Of course, on a desktop you can install those tools, which include Management Studio, without installing the SQL Server engine.

Hi all,

I don't know why there is no Management Studio after I install SQL Server
2005 Developer Edition. Is something wrong during the installation? If not,
where can I get the Management Studio?
