is it true about MSSQL Database server
-
Hi Guys, I would like to know if this is true for MS SQL Server. Lets say you have 1000 users in your MS SQL database. Does a person has to pay for each of those 1000 of users who uses your application which connects to the database to retrieve the users information. Thanks

With different licensing this would be a case for CPU license.

Possibly - the art of deciphering the licencing framework for SQL Server is not one you can easily acquire. We got to the point where we outlined our business model to the MS rep and asked for the best licencing model. I hope he gave us the right one. I'm sure there is a business opportunity there for someone to offer licence model consulting.

So true. It took me quite some time to figure out what all the information meant. The MS rep in this case can help. My response is based on the dollars per seat would defiantly be more than the CPU license. I do not remember exactly but the cutoff was around 150 seats (I think).

There is already one[^] for Oracle, so there might as well be one for SQL Server. :doh: :laugh: :laugh:

There is a break even point where the Cost Per Seat becomes more expensive than the Per CPU. I think the breakeven point is actually quite low at something like 100 Per-User licenses? though I could be wrong.. After this point its more cost effective to just license the box. JC
