Hello All,

We currently have the following environment:
- Production
- Test
- Development
We are planning to buy SQL Server 2005 software and I wanted to know the following:
- Limitations of buying Developer Edition instead of Enterprise Edition
- If I create multiple SQL instance on a Box, would that count has one SQl Server install?
- We use VMware (Virutal Server), how would that tie into my SQL Server lience?
Please advice. Thanks.

There are basically 2 types of db,

1. developer ( is for design environment, and will only run on workstations )
2. Servers ( is for server environments, and will only run on servers )
