Licence Question

Server setup:
Server with 4 CPU's and 4G of Ram

The server is used as a distributor between a separate publisher and a
separate subscriber sever.

My question is:
1)Can I install Standard edition of SQl Server on the distributor
server or does it need to be Enterprise. Keeping in mind that the
servers primary role is to serve as a distributor in a repl
configuration.

2)Can I license the server per CAL or does it need to be by CPU. I'm
thinking I could license it by CAL, so I would only need to purchase a
couple of CALS for the replication agents that run on the server... is
this assumption correct?

Thx in advance.

I can't really answer the questions, and it's really much better
to talk directly to Microsoft about this. Licensing is a difficult
area. Try this link:

Hi All! I know there has been a post about Python licencing but I have different questions. I tried to Google for "Python Licence" and "Python Licencing" but I could not find the answer. Is there a place where I can ready about Python licencing? (A FAQ maybe?) I really need to know the details of the licence, but not in the lawyer's language.

Hi I own the full Office 2000 Pro suite and would like to distribute an Access database. I realize that I need to buy Office 2000 Dev Tools and I saw it for sale on a website for £20. The guy selling it says and i quote "there isnt a licence number with it, it installs on top of your current office 2000 and uses the licence from that." Is this correct?

I have a windows application that I'd like to sell eventually. What's the simplest way to provide a secure licensing mechanism ? I'd prefer to have a licence key that can't simply be distributed across the pirate community (eg. astalavista) that will then work on any pc, so I was thinking of somehow tying it to the machine (some unique ID like the NIC number, but I realise some computers without a network card don't have one!). I'd need to...

we have some Python code we're planning to GPL. However, bits of it were cut&pasted from some wxPython-licenced code to use as a starting point for implementation. It is possible that some fragments of this code remains unchanged at the end. How should we refer to this in terms of copyright statements and bundled Licence files? Is there, say, a standard wording to be appended to the GPL header in each source file? Does the original...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
