I'm not sure that you can identify the license type from the server
itself. You probably need to know the source distribution.

select SERVERPROPERTY('LicenseType') returns disabled. I hope that there
is some form of paid-licensing on here. Does anyone have additional info
on this than Books Online provides below:

From Books Online:
Mode of this instance of SQL Server.
PER_SEAT = Per-seat mode
PER_PROCESSOR = Per-processor mode
DISABLED = Licensing is disabled.

Base data type: nvarchar(128)

Hi

I don't know why the licensing is disabled, maybe you need to hunt down the
paper licences, media, or purchase orders.
