5 User License

Hi,
What exactly does the 5 user(s) license of MSDE means?
"sa" is a user and i can have only 4 more users, does that means total 5
users license?
Or its the number of users connected to MSDE at any given point of time?

MSDE does not have a "5 users license" limitation... MSDE includes a
Governor Workloads that kicks in when 8 of more concurrent workloads
activities (batches that include the operations as described in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...asp?frame=true)
are executed and slows all of them down, but more workloads are supported
and only slowed down...
AFAIK, no such a limitation exists, nor technical or legal..

|||Hi Andrea,
The article was really worth reading. Thanks for clearing up my doubt for
MSDE. Could you also please share with me the licensing logic for SQL
Server. How do i cut-cost my product installation when I choose backend as
SQL?

in order to optimze your license fees, perhaps you've better have a call
with a Microsoft representative, as this really is a big deal and i'm not a
lawyer :D
if you choose MSDE (as per MSDE Release A package), your only need is to
register for distribution
(http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/ho...stregister.asp) , no other
requirement is necessary, for you nor for your customers... theoretical max
number of simultaneos connections stays at 32767 but, at 8 concurrent
workloads the Governor will kick in...
