How many CALs for a web page?

Is there any way to know aprox. how many cals a DB should have for an
avg website. I don't really know how many concurrent users there will
be.Hi

You would need to confirm this with you software supplier, but I think you
should be looking for a processor licence rather than CAL see

For a public site you need a processor licence. (likely cheaper than a
CAL per visitor anyway!)

SQL on.

Alternatively, you could look at using SQL 2005 Express edition which you
can use for free but it has some limitations, check out
