| If I have a server with multiple processors, do I need to have multiple licenses for SQL db? There are some applications that require multiple licences if the app. sits on a server with multiple processers |

| It depends on your license model.If you are using per processor licensing, you have to have a license for every processor that the OS can access.If you use client licensing, you buy a server licemse that is the same price no matter how many processors you have, and then you have to buy an individual client license for each device or user.Read the links below for the details.How to Buyhttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/default.mspxSQL Server 2005 Licensing: Frequently Asked Questionshttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.mspxCODO ERGO SUM |
