Kind Attention: MSFT

Hi,
The below issue is frustrating me as I have posted it
couple of times on this news group but didnt received a
single response.Atleast this time I expect a response from
MSFT online personnels.
I have a SBS 2003 5 CAL . I want to use SQL Server on top
of it in production, I prefer to use SQL Server based on
the available CPU's on my system. But I am confused
thinking, In what way SQL Server Licencing restrictions
are applicable as it is bundled along with SBS.
Thanks for the help!
Regards
ChipQ. Is it possible to install the server applications included with
Windows Small Business Server 2003 on a different computer running Windows
Server? For example, I want to run SQL Server on the computer running
Windows Small Business Server 2003, but I want to run Exchange Server 2003
on a different computer.
A. No. The server applications that come with the product must be
installed on the same physical machine, if they are installed at all. The
only exception is that FrontPage 2003, which is included with the premium
edition, may be installed on a single client computer in the Windows Small
Business Server 2003 network.

Thanks for trying to help me, but if u read my post
clearly I was talking about installing the SQL Server on
the Same SBS 2003 Edition and am concerned about Licensing
Issues with SQL Server 2000 on SBS 2003.
I am going mad with this Issue.

My guess however is still a big nope. Since the SBS server is licensed per
seat, I don't think this would allow the SQL portion to be licensed per
processor as they apps are licensed as a bundle. I realize that if you
wanted to use this to allow anonymous SQL access (Internet) you need to use
per processor licensing but this is not the intent of this product (to my
knowledge).
Best bet would be to call MS. A regional sales rep can usually clear away
the licensing confusion that most MS products have :)

Thank you very much for ur views and suggestions. I will
contact the Local Microsoft office. But I am surprised of
one thing. How come no Microsoft guy tried to answer my
query even after I put the Attention Note in subject.
Anyway Have a nice time.

In short, because we're not lawyers and we've been told that because we're
not lawyers we're not to dispense legal advice. :-( On top of that, there
simply may not be any Microsoft employees reading this newsgroup who know
the answer. I know I sure don't. Neil is right, your best bet is to contact
your local sales office.
Oh, and please note that while this is a Microsoft-hosted newsgroup, unless
you're a subscriber to TechNet or MSDN there's no guarantee of a response.
Sorry!
