Wanted to get different opinions about how SQL Developer is being used.

We are fixing to upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2005 and are going to need to buy some licenses. I told my manager I didn't know why they had a processor license for the SQL test box and not just buy the developer copy for each developer to use on the server. This would free up 4 processor licenses.

From my understanding Developer is licensed per person to be used for development, and testing.

Now if you want to load test this do you have to buy a license for every machine? Is this where they stick it to you?

Was wondering what other people are doing out there.

they "stick it to you" on the production. you can use dev for all others.
