                                          | If you are asking whether or not you can set it up so that multiple users can access that instance - then no.  One developer license per developer using the instance. |

                                          | The developer edition is a fully functional instance of SQL Server with all the features of Enterprise Edition.  So yes - you can create the users without a problem.  However, you cannot have those users logging into the system and using the server.If you need to be able to setup an application and test it - then that isn't a problem.  Just be aware that you cannot have actual end users accessing the system - it has to be you accessing the system for your development work.I would recommend that you read the EULA for the developer edition.  It explains all of this in great detail. |
