SQL server 7 connection licensing

SQL server 7 connection licensing

Post by IT » Tue, 24 Jun 2003 23:01:02



Hello,

I'm running SBS 4.5 (SQL 7 is integrated with SBS) with 25 licenses, as far
as I know, this should allowed me at least 25 machines connection at any
time to the SBS.

The question regarding SQL server 7,
We have a dozen of applications running agaisnt this database, would the 25
connections be exceeded if some of the machines using more than 1
application at the time. (Using ODBC, each application has 1 connection)

Thanks very much for your help
Tam

AFAIK, the limitation is per combination of MachineName\UserName.

1. SQL Server 2000 license overriding SQL Server 7.0 license on separate server

We have the following situation.

Server A is a W2K server (not domain controller) with SQL Server 7.0
installed. This SQL server has an Internet connector license.

Server B is a W2K domain controller with SQL Server 2000 Standard
Edition installed.

Server B has a web app that accesses SQL server on Server A. This web
app does not use the database on Server B.

Web clients accessing Server B have their SQL accesses rejected with the
message "Logon failed. The number of users on this 'Standard Edition'
exceeds the maximum of 10 allowed by the license."

Why does the license on B trump the license on A? How do I fix it?

Q153140 appears to be irrelevant. License Manager doesn't show anything
for the SQL Server 2000 installation.
