lee broad writes "Hi, I'd like your opinion on what licensing model would be needed for the following setup.

SQL Server Enterprise Edition
500 Windows Clients via VB application
1 XML Web Service that queries the database for price / inventory data for online portal.

Does the addition of the web service mean processor license is required? The portal calls a web service loaded on the clients network that returns the required data.

Thanks."

I'm not a license expert, but I'm pretty sure that any web application that will hit your database would require per-processor. Per-seat is definitely NOT going to work.

If it's a web app, you must use per-processor since you have an "unlimited" number of users that would hit it from the web.
