Unless it's SQL Express. But there is now a SQL Server Web Edition that is "approximately" equivalent to SQL Server Workgroup.

Previously, I don't think you could install database software on Web Edition at all and be compliant with the license. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Joe Heaton [mailto:jhea...@etp.ca.gov] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 12:39 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Licensing question I saw this statement when looking through the licensing page for Web Server 2008: "Windows Web Server 2008 licensing is enhanced to allow any type of database software on the server software with no limit on the number of users." Does anyone out there have any clarification on this? Does this mean I can install SQL on the same box without needing a license? Or is it just for CALs for that box?
