Re: CALs and SQL Server

Yes. This helps.

I've been pulling my hair out over what appears to be a networking
situation and am trying to cover all bases.

Thanks,
David

Yes, licensing is a legal agreement that you are obligated to follow. It is
not enforced electronically.

Hello all,
Had a question about CALs and SQL server.

From my reading and limited knowledge of SQL Server
( I am not too familiar with as I have spent 4 years
on MySQL ), the number of CALs is not electronically
enforced meaning if you do not have enough CALs, SQL
Server will still let the client in violation in.

Is this correct?
