How many MSSQL user CAL licenses should we buy?

Posted By craigliu over 7 years ago

We have a new installed sage 300 2017 with MSSQL server. I'm confused on how many MSSQL user CAL licenses we should buy. We have 5 staffs using the sage 300 (i.e. 5 Sage 300 logon accounts). But it seems that only one username needed in MSSQL server for Sage 300 to access MSSQL server directly.

My question is: should we buy one CAL license of MSSQL, or should we buy 5 CAL license of MSSQL? Why?

5, because of the honor system.

Thank Jay.
How do we install these CAL licenses into Sage 300 or into MSSQL server?

You don't install them, you just purchase them. It's the honor system, if the Microsoft police comes after you.

Read the MS SQL CAL license legal gumpfh, one license per computer that accesses SQL server if you go that route.
You can also go the "per server" route, different licensing and costs.
