[THIN] Re: Licences Required for XP Data Store in SQL

I would have thought this is per connecting device or
in this case per server.  A standard SQL 2000 CAL (not
processor CAL but user CAL) is per seat, ie. per user
connecting to the SQL server.  Therefore, it would
make sense (kind of - this is MS afterall) that the
license belongs to the user (LocalSystem) on each
server !

If you had 5 servers, each obviously has it's own
LocalSystem account accessing the SQL 2000 DB,
therefore, 5 CAL's !

I may be way off here, but MS licensing appears to be
very specialist subject these days depending upon your
agreement and whether your pre or post July 31st !!!

Hope this helps
