Good one Jay, I was going to post similarly.
As I see it, even on the LAN side if you had Non Domain machines/users
connected to a custom Web App using the SBS SQL Server and either no or
In-built authentication then there would be no limit on the number of
LAN users either.
It's -only- the SBS authentication that otherwise limits the access to
75 CAL holders. The SQL Server itself does not Monitor / regulate
User/device CALs on the connections and if it doesn't it -must be- PP.
( it only comes in 2 flavours )
...but David, I -can- see why MS and MS Marketing wouldn't want to
promote the fact that SBS's SQL Server is a Dual Processor Per Processor
install.
;-)
