Is there any reliable way of determining exactly what licenses you need for SQL Server, or does everyone just get the per-processor licenses and get it over with?

The per-processor license is popular, especially among large companies, and I think it is the only valid option if your SQL Server is going to be accessed from web pages.

Otherwise, I believe that you can still do a CAL type of licensing. Check [url]http://www.microsoft.com/licensing[/url] to be sure.

This sorta goes with the posters question as well.

We discovered we had 2 Per seat licenses setup for our SQL Server 2000 Cluster. We plan on getting processor licenses, but what performance / connection issues will we have if we have it currently setup Per seat?
