You need 1700+ CALS or a processor license (probably cheaper in your situation). Its the same as if your web site is powered by MSSQL you need a processor license since everyone accessing the server, whether directly or indirectly (in your case) needs to be licensed.

No one is directly connecting to the SQL box but their app talks to one server that is making the connections for it. Our lovely Softchoice person is saying that we need sql cals for everyone (1700+) that use this app. Im thinking the only connection being made is from the server the app is talking to and the sql server. Thus 1 connection? Right? Wrong? dave This e-mail contains the thoughts and opinions of the sender and does not represent official Parkview Medical Center policy.
