NOTE: The information in this guide is intended to provide an overview the MS-SQL licensing requirements as they relate to SOLIDWORKS products. The Microsoft SQL Server software is licensed separately from your SOLIDWORKS software, so it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct licensing for both the Release and Edition of Microsoft SQL Server which you have installed. The feedback on this thread seem right on tracks and affirms what I've been finding.SOLIDWORKS PDM, SOLIDWORKS Manage and SOLIDWORKS Electricalsoftware all rely on databases hosted by Microsoft SQL Server software to operate. on this document explains the SQL CAL's: Number 5 on this Q&A explains the Windows CAL's. "They will still require a CAL, any server access requires a CAL except as mentioned before, when running a WEB or HPC workload or 2 users or devices administering the software." Joshua: What about Windows Server CAL's for the users accessing this website? Each will have an application specific (non active directory) login. Or up to 2 users or devices to administer the server software.Īs for SQL, you must license every user or device accessing directly or indirectly, and in the case of the application you will be running that is considered multiplexing, and every user or device that access through that application needs to be licensed too." "The only time you will not need a CAL for Windows Server is when running a Web or HPC workload.
I initiated a chat with a Microsoft Licensing rep and this is the reply I received from them. I've reached out to the vendor of the software we will be purchasing and have yet for them to provide a response. I've been doing more research and want to share my findings. If I do need SQL CAL's for all the website users I need to evaluate if it makes more sense to license SQL server per core and not need to worry about CAL's. I'm not getting a clear, consistent answer regarding the website/IIS portion of this. Let's say we setup 50 employees to have access to this website, would I need 50 more user SQL CAL's or not. This website multiple staff will have credentials to - this will allow them to login and view department budgets, etc. There is also a website as part of this software that runs in IIS and would access data in SQL server. We will have five users licensed to use this program, therefore I know I will need 5 SQL user CAL's and should be good. There are two parts of the program needing the SQL database. Trying to figure out what I need for SQL CAL's and am finding/being told conflicting things. We have a new accounting application we will be adding in the next few months that requires SQL Server Standard (in lieu of express).
