Client tools licensing question

Hello,
If we have a full version of SQL2K and want to install MSDE on about 30
mobile laptops can we install the client utilities from the SQL2K cd onto
each laptop? If not is there any other options? What would be the cost per
laptop to install the client software? Thanks.
Jake
Hi Jake,
No, you can't. We have a utility that's free for personal use and licensing
for things like you describe. Details are at our site. For other options,
look at: www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/default.asp

Is there one that would be good for setting up and managing replication.
We are planning on using merge replication.

That's on the way in our next version but it's not here yet. I've tried many
of the others but haven't come across one yet that does.

Any idea on a release date? Will it work with SQLExpress?

Still about 6 weeks. Separate product coming for SQL Express. It's a little
more challenging because SQL Agent isn't included.

For 30 servers, wouldn't you want to script it anyway? Seems odd to want to
install a GUI for such a task. I don't like using EM to make changes on even 1
production box.
Also, if you are going to use EM, I would want either the same person or 'team'
of dba's doing the configs. What you can do is put the msde box on the LAN and
connect to it from the dba's copy of EM that is probably installed on their
desktop.

that the enterprise t tools can be used indefinitely. confirmed with MS.
Use the EVAL version to intstall just the Enterprise Mgr. everything works
properly with MSDE2000 except the scheduled backups.

I'm really not certain you are allowed to use the Eval tools on production
servers, or, anyway, after the evaluation time is finished...
they do work after the evaluation expires, but I'm confident you are not
allowed at all to use them...
