Thanks for all your suggestions, folks. The situation is now resolved,
with a win to me! <g>
I went to the system administrator and told him I simply had to have a
copy of enterprise manager or I couldn't do the job. IT was no good using
VNC and running it on the server - it would take me 10 times as long to
do any job that way and he was paying me by the hour after all. (that got
his attention). I said that since SQLServer is predominantly used in
large sites - certainly most are far bigger than ours - I couldn't believe
all those people had only one copy of Enterprise Manager and they had to
use remote access tools to use it on the server. I suggested he get the
license and lets look and see if there is a loophole somewhere. HE went
and got the SQLServer box out of the software safe.
There in huge Arial Black letters on the side of the box it says "INCLUDES
5 CLIENT LICENSES".
Whoah!
I said, "Well who's got all those licenses installed?"
"What licenses?"
"Those ones - the 5 client licenses! Who's got them on their machines and
why do they need them more than I do? "
Big pause. (sheepishly) "no one."
"Well then.. give me that CD. You're going to have 2 installed within 30
minutes - one on my machine and one on my assistant's."
LOL!!! I WIN!!
So thanks everyone for your advice. Both of our machines now have
Enterprise manager installed again.
