I believe that the Server+CAL licensing will allow you to use all of the processors, but CAL licensing is only cost effective for a pretty low number of seats. While you say that only you and CF will be connecting to the SQL Server box, MS considers any person hitting your web app as a ¨client¨. If it is externally facing, you will have to get the processor licensing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/SQL/message.cfm/messageid:2894 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/SQL/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.6
