Ok another "I Don't crap about SQL and should read the book" question:I am purchasing new servers for a company that currently runs SQL 2000 in a Windows 2k3 environment. Not sure why, but they want to upgrade to SQL 2005. The have 4 SQL 2000 Standard editions. Three with 1 processor licensing and 1 with per device licensing. The new servers will have 2 x Quad core processors. Since I know licensing is per "Physical Processor" I need to purchase an additional license for a second processor on each machine that has two. How do I purchase a second one? Can do this online? Whats the cost? Another question I have is: Do I need to buy SQL 2005 Standard (Full Standard Version) install on the new machine and migrate by databases from SQL 2000 over to the new ones? Or is there like an upgrade kit where I install SQL 2000 on the new ones then buy a update to SQL 2005 disc? Please don't laugh at my questions, I am by no means a SQL GURU. Thanks in advance. |
