Hi, I just want to understand CAL licenses of microsoft sql server! If I implement Service Oriented Architecture then also I need to buy CALs for all my clients? And is it different from SQLEXPRESS to SQL SERVER? Thanks, Divyesh

It is best to go to Microsoft's books on line to get their take on CAL's There are two types of licensing server and client side. It depends mainly on how many users as to which what to go. Good luck

Best to go to a bloody magician, you certainly can't rely on a forum post to clarify this subject. MS licencing is one of the most arcane subject in the software industry. Good luck.

One more thing is there, if a public hosted web site is there. It has one web service which populate data from sql server. Now you never know how many connection will be there for that web site, in that case how to buy CALs? Same thing apply in my case! Even though I dont have public server. It will be a static ip server in organization's intranet! There will be one .net application which has hosted one .net remote object and my client communicate with that .net remoting object and fetch the data!!! Thanks, Divyesh

Mycroft brings up a good point, MS licensing is a nightmare. Thus if you go to the MS SQL Server site they have several pages of information. As to a general license that would be per CPU.

Had to Google SOA as I have always been in small shops. You might look into the 'per CPU' license.

SQL Express is totally free, and has no requirement for CALs or any other form of license. Other editions of SQL Server can be licensed per processor or by CAL as per SQL Server 2008: SQL Server 2008 Licensing[^]
