How many SQL Server Liscences ?

We need to know how many SQL Server Liscences we require.

We have 2 SQL database users (user_app, user_web: one for our application and one for web access)

There will be around 4 windows logon users using the application and about 50 people using via the web.

Do we need 2 liscences, one for user_app, and user_web or more ? i hope not 54 lol!!!

Just wondering what is the cheapest set of liscencing we require for SQL Server 2000 ?

You can purchase license per user or per cpu. I would say you only need 1 CPU License for Standard it is around $5,000 - $6,000 I believe.

The deal with Web Licences is that you will either have to name the individual users who will access the application and therefore the SQL Server (multiplexing) or buy a processor license. If only your internal employees will access the database and you already covered them with the appropiate licenses, then your your done. If you don′t know the people gaining access to your server, you will have to buy the proc license.
