| developer is equal to enterprise but you can use it only to develop stuff, you can't use it on production.standard doesn't have the same high end functionality that enterprise/developer has.however you can't go wrong with developer._______________________________________________Causing trouble since 1980blog: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenpSSMS Add-in that does a few things: www.ssmstoolspack.com |

| Developer is the cheaper way to go. Standard requires a server + CAL license or CPU licensing. Developer is 50 bucks I believe.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

| You still need to pay license for standard edition when you install it on another machine, even you get free installation cd. |
